“Shortcake” — Jaime made these over the weekend for a little get-together at our house. Here’s the recipe she wrote up for me:
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbs baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick) - chilled and cut up into small cubes
- 1 tbs vanilla
- 1 cup whipping cream
In food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt for 5 seconds. Add butter, pulsing quickly until mixture resembles course meal. Add cream and vanilla. Process just until clumps begin to form. Gather dough into a ball. Either roll out and use a round biscuit cutter to form shortcakes OR (as I did) form shortcakes by hand.
Place on greased (or parchment lined), baking sheet and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 18-20 minutes - until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
