Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake is an American classic dessert and is perfect for fresh strawberry season. Get on it kids.
I have an American granddaughter who is obsessed with strawberry shortcake, so including this recipe was a must. Macie, this one is for you! Originally in Tenina's America the cookbook, it is a simple dessert; basically a big scone with a yummy fresh strawberry filling and loads of cream. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? It is the American version of English scones, as always on a larger scale.
I know your girls will love this, and probably the boys as well. Time to get baking!
