Recipe: Strawberry Shortcake

If there's one thing we've learned over time, it's that gluten-free desserts can be just a delicious as their gluten-filled counterparts. And this strawberry shortcake recipe is the perfect example. Ours is based off the Better Homes & Gardens version, which we've modified to make GF.

Ingredients
2 cups GF flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter
1 beaten egg
2/3 cup milk

Steps

• In a bowl, stir together sugar, flour and baking powder.
• Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Combine the egg and milk, and add it to the dry ingredients.
• Stir just enough to fully moisten dough.
• Spread batter into a greased eight-inch round baking pan.
• Bake in preheated 450-degree oven for 18 minutes. (Check to make sure it's done by inserting a wooden toothpick. It should come out clean.)

To top off the dessert, slice strawberries and mix them in a bowl with a liberal sprinkling of sugar. Let them set for a bit before putting them over the top of a slice of shortcake. For an added bonus, make some fresh whipped cream for the ultimate dessert! Enjoy!
