but not everyone cooks with wine... so to take with me to the exchange I decided on something I think most people like:
... Dessert!!!
Tip of the day: Always always always use pure vanilla extract
Fresh Strawberry Shortcake
1 ¼ cup flour
½ tsp salt
3 TB Granulated Sugar
½ TB baking powder
5 TB unsalted butter COLD
2 TB shortening
Orange zest from one orange
2 fl oz milk
1 egg
For whipped cream:
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pint heavy cream
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla (pure)
Fresh sliced strawberries (1lb package) (heads up starting tomorrow 3/5/10 albertsons has them 2 for $3)
Combine all dry ingredients. Add butter and shortening and cut in until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Add the orange zest.
Combine milk, egg and vanilla extract and add to the dry ingredients. Turn out the dough on a board and knead a few times.
Divide dough into 6 portions. I flour my cutting board
I doubled the recipe because of the cooking party I was going to, so that is why the picture shows more shortcakes.
Bake at 450 until lightly browned. Approx 12 minutes. Cool on rack
Whip cream, sugar and vanilla in your kitchen aid mixer
Cut shortcakes down the middle. Fill with whipped cream and sliced strawberries ( I like to toss my strawberries in sugar first ).
Here is what they look like without tops:
With tops:
Optional: can serve over homemade chocolate sauce
