Shortcake

Shortcake

When berry season comes around, it’s great to have several options available so that you can enjoy your fruit in a variety of ways. One recipe that you should definitely keep in your repertoire is shortcake.

Shortcake is very versatile. You can have it as a dessert, a breakfast, or even as a side dish at dinner. You can top it with strawberries earlier in the season and blackberries later on. You can serve it with milk, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or just by itself.

This recipe will make two shortcakes.
