Re: Shortcake ?! for LOLITA

[Guest guest]

You got it! This is the biscuit kind, not the sponge cake type. Kirby is

eating the shortcake plain for a bread, but maybe he's nuts? It comes out

nicely golden and really pretty. And for those not using corn- I would

think just use another starch, or more of the potato should work.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup shortening

1/2 cup potato starch

3/4 cup cornstarch

1 3/4 t xanthum

1/2 t salt

1/4 c sugar

1 T baking powder

1/3 t baking soda

3/4 c milk

1 egg

Preheat oven to 375.Blend all ingredients mixing to remove lumps. Dough

will be quite soft, a bit sticky.Press into a lightly greased pie or cake

pan. Bake for 15-20 min. or until lightly brown. Top with strawberries,

peaches or raspberries.

Clean and half about a quart of strawberries, or raspberries. Can use a

potato masher or back of spoon to crush some of the berries (makes more of

the juice). Top with 1 cup of sugar (more or less) and let sit 30 min.

For peaches, follow the same but don't crush any.
