  1. The family and I enjoyed this shortcake! I used a lrg scoop and the batter made 15 small biscuits. Will use this recipe from now on, Thanks!
     
  2. this was a really nice, light shortcake. VERY moist-almost spongy. my mom's is always soo dry. i couldn't believe how little time it took to make. (10 minutes prep.- 10 minutes cooking!) a great recipe for surprise company. the only change i'd make is to double the sugar. i'm sure at only 2 tbsp sugar total it won't be too sweet! and there will definately be a next time!!!
     
  3. This is a great recipe! I converted it to a gluten-free recipe and added 1 tsp of xanthan gum. I scooped mounds of dough using an ice cream scooper onto a greased cookie sheet and baked at 350 for 15 minutes. It made 9 short cakes. Yummy!
     
  4. Delicious shortcakes in no time. Who needs bisquick with this easy recipe? Thanks for posting.
     
  5. no star rating because i think i did something horribly wrong. the directions weren't very clear on how the shortening, milk & egg are incorporated... i did my best by adding shortening to the flour (that's how it read, but it didn't seem right), then adding milk to the beaten egg, then incorporating the milk/egg mix to the flour/shortening mix. my dough was thick like cookie dough and i got one ugly biscuit-looking (biscuits-n-gravy-type) dry and chewy cake. had to throw the whole thing away. i would give it another try if you have a suggestion on changing how i completed step 4.

I live in PA and work in the billing dept. for a local health center. For fun I hang out with friends, and of course cook! I love to have fun cooking but am very inexperianced cook. Never get a chance due to my Dad working second shift and Mom makes his meal mid-day while I'm working. I love to read, play the piano and am learning guitar. I also like to sing and listen to music.
