I mentioned the incredible strawberries we received this week by special order. I prefer a biscuit- type of shortcake over sponge cake or angle food cake. Here's a quick and easy and lowfat recipe that I made for a potluck on Friday night.
Makes about 10 individual shortcakes.
Ingredients
2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg beaten
1 cup buttermilk
3-1/2 Tbsp melted butter
additional sugar
Procedure
Preheat the over to 400 degrees and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Combine the dry ingredients. Combine the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold together gently until you have a springy sticky batter. Use an ice cream scoop to drop the batter into mounds on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve warm with strawberries and whipped cream.
These were delicious!
