Strawberry Shortcake


It is strawberry season here in NC! Today was the opening day of a local strawberry patch so Taylor, B, and I went out and picked some beautiful fresh strawberries! We didn't pick enough for jam this time so I decided to make GF strawberry shortcake for dessert.  I used Pamela's GF Baking and Pancake mix to make them.  I love this mix because it is easy and makes everything I love.  I used it to make the BEST coffee cake ever last weekend.


Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Pamela’s Baking and Pancake Mix
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup shortening or butter
1/3 cup milk mixed with 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Mix dry ingredients.

Cut in shortening or butter with pastry blender or two knives. Work until pieces are the size of peas. Add milk until just mixed.

Turn out onto board well dusted with Pamela’s mix and pat into a rectangle. Don’t squish down, leave as plump as possible. Square up sides with flat edge of knife. Cut into 4 pieces.

Bake on parchment on cookie sheet at 375° for 15 to 17 minutes. Split into top and bottom. Layer with sweetened whipped cream and berries or peaches.


There were a bit crumbly but hit the spot! So fresh and delicious with our hand picked strawberries!
