Strawberries are at their best right now so I thought I would share a yummy strawberry recipe. Strawberry shortcake...yum. This is almost like a biscuit stuffed and topped with strawberries and cream. I love this dessert because it is not too sweet. The fresh strawberries can't be beat and everything is better with whipped cream dolloped on top. Try it, you'll like it.
Strawberry Shortcake
6 cups sliced strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup butter softened
1 beaten egg
2/3 cup milk
1 cup whipping cream. whipped
In a small bowl stir together the berries and 1/4 cup sugar, set aside. Stir together remaining sugar, flour, and baking powder. Cut in the butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg and milk, add to dry mixture. Stir just to moisten. DO NOT OVER STIR. Place the batter in greased round cake pan or muffin tins. Bake at 450 oven for 15 to 18 minutes, less for muffins or till wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 min. Remove from pan and split into two layers. Spoon half berries and whipped cream over first layer. Top with second layer and more berries and whipped cream. Serve immediately.
