Re: We Had Our 1st Strawberry Shortcake............

I can't eat wheat, so no strawberry shortcake for me.  I made a strawberry pie last weekend with a gluten free cookie crust. It was delicious.

 

I love fresh strawberries when they are in season. Yumm.

The other day, I made a strawberry upside down cake.  It is delicious, and tastes pretty much like shortcake, but in a different form.  Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite summer desserts!

I can make keto biscuits if I want them, but I usually just go straight for the strawberries - not too many, though.  Sometimes I'll add fresh whipped cream.  I buy strawberries every trip to Aldi, they're always red, juicy, and flavorful. Strawberries have just started being sold from a local produce stand. $25/bucket.  Talk about highway robbery!

I LOVE strawberry shortcake ...  I also use the PILLSBURY biscuits, but press them in some sugar before baking.  They turn out as good as they serve them at the California Pizza Kitchen which I think are fabulous !!

Not a fan of traditional strawberry shortcake, as I do not eat any type of berry.

 

However, I love the fruit flavor from berries, and pour the juice from macerated strawberries onto the dessert cups and add Cool Whip.

I love Strawberry Shortcake. But in the Ozarks where I live we use pie crust.

Re: We Had Our 1st Strawberry Shortcake............

There's a sandwich/ice cream place close to me that has strawberry shortcake and they make their cake part from scratch.  Everybody raves about it.  I got one a few weeks ago for my lunch.  It was soooo good but that will do me for another year.

Re: We Had Our 1st Strawberry Shortcake............

Thanks for reminding me.

 

My Mom insisted that we eat balanced and nutritious meals. We weren't allowed to eat spaghetti (empty calories) and if we wanted a sweet, we got fruit. 

 

BUT during strawberry season, we would just have strawberry shortcake for dinner. We had a farmer come to our house every Wednesday. He brought meats, vegetables and fruit. And during strawberry season fresh ripe strawberries.

 

It was such a treat to eat. The shortcake was more like a biscuit. I am so sorry I don't have the recipe for the shortcake. I would love to make it.

 

When my son was a little guy, we would go to a local farm and pick our own strawberries. I canned tons of strawberry jam. The local season is short so we would have to jump on picking the strawberries.
