Summer Yummyness

I have a weak spot for strawberries.. and this week when I picked some up at the market I was imagining some kind of strawberry shortcake... BUT I didn't have a recipe.. until.. allrecipes.com came to the rescue with this delicious recipe! (with a few tweaks suggested in some of the comments...)

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup white sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup butter

2/3 cup heavy cream

1 egg, beaten

3 cups sliced fresh strawberries

3 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and cream of tartar. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives. Stir in cream and egg and knead until combined. Divide dough into 12 balls and press down into disk shapes. Sprinkle with sugar and place on baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, or until golden. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons sugar over sliced berries.

pleassssse ignore the messy kitchen :D

Let shortcakes cool before splitting and filling with sugared berries and whipped cream! (or you could just sandwich two of the cakes like we did) :) and then you enjoy!!!
