New Classic Strawberry Shortcake – Thanks, Grandpa!

I was visiting my mom final summer, as well as overheard her as well as my aunt talking nigh making strawberry shortcake using “dad’s” recipe. They were plainly talking nigh my grandfather, which was surprising, since I had no persuasion he baked.

I recall he did a lot of cooking growing up, but it was things similar frittata, meat sauce, or polenta. I never i time saw him bake anything sweet. Nevertheless, he apparently gets credit for inventing our official household unit of measurement recipe for strawberry shortcake, which I’ve adapted here.

What he had done was taken the strawberry shortcake recipe off the box of a certain, real pop premade biscuit mix, as well as added extra “everything,” every bit my woman rear position it. So, that’s what I did here, except instead of using the materials inwards the xanthous box, I used self-rising flour, which I’m pretty sure as shooting is basically the same thing.

The solely other major alter is the master copy recipe calls for regular melted butter, but every bit you’ll come across inwards the video, I similar to toast mine simply a little, to convey out those subtle, nutty flavors. I'm hoping Armand Cianfoni would approve. I actually promise yous plough over “our” strawberry shortcake a induce soon. Enjoy!
