Strawberry Short Cake

This absolutely delectable summer treat is a surefire crowd pleaser and easy to make. Using a traditional biscuit recipe and crispy-fresh fruit makes for a truly luscious dessert experience. You’ll need about three small baskets of washed, fresh strawberries in addition to the following:

Short Cake Biscuit (one dozen)

  • 2-oz. Sweet Butter softened
  • 2-oz. shortening (½ Crisco, ½ butter)
  • 1 ½ -oz. sugar
  • ¼-oz. baking powder
  • 12-oz. pastry flour
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 4 ½-oz. milk

Mix sugar, butter and shortening together in mixing bowl with paddle until light and fluffy. Sift flour and baking powder, and add to butter/sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until it starts to make pea-sized lumps. Add eggs and milk. Mix together until uniform. Don’t over-mix. Makes 1 dozen biscuits. Bake at 390 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Bake light.

Strawberry Sauce (one serving)

  • ¼ cup fresh strawberry
  • 1 tsp. sugar

Mix in the blender until sauce-like. Add ingredients proportionally for additional servings.

Whipped Cream (one serving)

  • ¼ cup cream
  • 1 tsp. sugar

Whip until firm. Add ingredients proportionally for additional servings.

Creation

Split one biscuit in half. In the bottom of a serving glass put 3 oz. diced fresh strawberry. Add half biscuit. Add 3 oz. diced fresh strawberry. Add second biscuit half. Add 2 oz. diced fresh strawberry. Pour strawberry sauce over the top. Add whip cream. Garnish with half of one whole strawberry. You can layer sauce and whip cream as you go for an alternate presentation.
