So, thanks to Pru for picking the perfect dessert as strawberry season is upon us here in Maryland. I have a freezer full of jam. I've made popsicles, pie, smoothies, and strawberry lemonade but I hadn't made shortcake.
Strawberry Shortcake is really easy for those of you who approach baking with fear and trepidation. And this recipe does most of the work in a food processor so it really can't get any easier. I made my shortcakes a bit patriotic by using the red, white, and blue sugar crystals my son had so lovingly selected at the store. The shortcakes are like a really tender, slightly sweet biscuit. Mound on the sweetened strawberries and a bit of vanilla whipped cream and you are ready to take on the world.
Or perhaps play the piano at your first recital.
Yup, that's my seven-year-old playing at his first recital. He did fabulously! Nary a mistake. Must've been the shortcake.

I reckon the shortcake (and a lot of practicing) definitely helped your son with the recital! I'm glad you liked them.
LOL! Glad it was appreciated in your house. Your strawberry season must've started earlier than ours. Local berries finally were for sale Sunday at the farmstand.
Oh look how festive your "sugar on top" is! It looks yummy! Our strawberries have been over for awhile so I had to use California strawberries. I finally got my post up. Wow, his first piano recital, how exciting. You must be proud! :D
