Preheat the oven to 425°F.

In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and sugar.

Add heavy cream and milk to the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Melt the butter in a pan and toast it lightly until golden brown, then add to the mixture.

Mix until a dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

Cut the dough into squares or rounds and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until browned.

While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the strawberries by mixing them with white sugar and water if needed, allowing them to macerate.

Whip the cold heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Once the shortcakes are done, let them cool slightly before serving.
