Classic Strawberry Shortcake – Thanks, Grandpa!

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

I recollect 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, really pop premade biscuit mix, together with added extra “everything,” equally my woman raise lay 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 enough is basically the same thing.

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