Ingredients:
The granddaddy of all American classic desserts - homemade fresh
strawberry shortcake. Warm from the oven, slit open and topped
with juicy ripe berries--with a crown of whipped cream. What
summer dessert could be better? For 4 servings you will need: 3
pt. boxes fresh strawberries
1/4 c. sugar or honey
2 tsp. orange juice
2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
4 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
Grated rind from 1 orange
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. solid shortening
1/2 c. sour cream
2 c. whipping cream
4 tbsp. sugar (optional)
Whipped cream (whip cold cream (with
sugar) until soft peaks form
Direction:
Combine sliced berries,
sugar or honey and orange juice. Let stand at room temperature
for 1 hour. Sift all dry ingredients together into a medium
bowl. Add orange rind. Add butter and shortening and work them
into flour mixture thoroughly. Lightly mix in sour cream with
a fork to form a soft dough. Roll dough out onto lightly
floured board, 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 4 circles, about 4
inches wide (use a 2-pound coffee can as a cutter). Place on
ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees about 20 minutes
or until golden. While still warm, use fork and split cakes in
half. Place each on dessert plate. Top with drained berries
and second half of cake. Top with additional berries, ladle
some juice on top. Garnish with whipped cream and a
strawberry.
