Directions:

• - Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• - You will need a large, rimmed baking sheet for this recipe. Be sure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper so that your food does not stick to the pan.
• - In a large bowl, mix together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest.
• - Put in the whipping cream and stir it until a thick dough forms.
• - Use a large spoon or cookie scoop to put the dough on the baking sheet. You should get 8 medium-sized shortcakes.
• - Bake the shortcakes for 15-17 minutes or until they are a golden brown color.
• - While the shortcakes are baking, mix together the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl.  Let the strawberries macerate. 
• - Once the shortcakes are baked, let them cool completely before slicing them.
• - When you are ready to serve, cut each shortcake in half. Fill them it with whipped cream and the macerated strawberries.
