strawbery shortcake - sam style!

[orangerful]

Picked about 4 lbs of strawberries today...because I could. Seriously, I will eat them up on my cereal and in smoothies and all over yum yum yum.

First thing I did was make some strawberry shortcake! I asked my mom for the recipe she always made and she told me it was actually my grandmother's recipe, more of a biscuit than a shortcake but sooooooo tasty. So I figured I would share since so many of you have been kind enough to share your recipes with me --

2 cups of Flour
3 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of sugar
2/3 cup of milk
1/2 cup of vegetable oil


mix it all together! Spoon it onto a baking sheet (it makes about 6 biscuits) and bake at 400 for @10-15 minutes.

They are the consistensy of a biscuit so they do a good job of soaking up the strawberry juices and whipped cream topping.

Oh, but I failed at making whipped cream. :( I tried to do it by hand but I think I needed my electric beater and I forgot it at home. Ah well, next time! :D

Thanks for sharing! I'm going to snag your recipe and veganise it so my sister and I can both eat it. (She's a vegan, I'm a plain old vegetarian. XD) ♥

We went to Larriland Farms (http://www.pickyourown.com/) which is in Woodbine. There might be somewhere closer, but that's where Amy always took me to pick stuff LOL.

Cool! Let me know how that turns out, my friend is vegan so I could pass it on to her after that :)

Hm, well these should work well with any delcious, sweet fruit as a topping. Maybe you'll invent a new dessert! :D

I like biscuit-type shortcake the best myself. And I see we have the same philosophy: there is no such thing as "too many strawberries!"
