Instructions
Shortcake
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in the butter till the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center, add milk and egg that have been pre-beaten together. Stir just until the dough clings together. Place on floured surface and roll out until about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Strawberries
- Wash and slice strawberries. I have found that sugar really isn't needed. But, if you like you can add sugar to taste.
Sweet Cream
- mix the heavy cream and sugar together in a bowl until sugar dissolves. Once the sugar is dissolved, whip with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
