Shortcake

Hi everyone,

This is a really quick post to share some Shortcake I (and my fiancé) have been making. We've been using the recipe from the Food Network website, and it is simple and easy- find it here! It's especially easy because you make it in one pan as opposed to cutting out rounds, as I had always done before. The other change we make is putting butter then sugar on top, which makes the shortcake sparkly in looks and taste!

But let's go make some shortcake!

Here's the dough being mixed- you just dump in the dry ingredients and either sift them together or just give them a good whisk- that's what I do! Then pour in your cream and mix until just all together.

Pat the shortcake out into an 8x8'' or 9x9'' pan.

Drizzle with approx. 1 tablespoon butter. (My fiancé J's contribution- not a step to miss!)

Brush butter on shortcake evenly.

Then sprinkle with approx. 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.

Bake 18-22 minutes or until just starting to brown and a tester comes out clean. Enjoy!

Savor it!
love, rue
