I grew up on a dairy farm, so we always had plenty of butter and cream for the luscious strawberry shortcake my mother fixed. Ingredients:
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced |
1 cup sugar |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter |
1 egg |
1/2 cup cream |
butter |
whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Combine strawberries and sugar; set aside. In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly. In another bowl, beat egg; add cream. Add to crumb mixture, stirring only until moist. Pat into a greased 8-in. square or round baking pan. Bake at 450° for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack. Just before serving, split cake in two. butter bottom layer; spoon half of the berries over butter. Replace second layer and spoon remaining berries on top. Cut into individual servings; top each with whipped cream. Yield: 6-9 servings.
