Strawberry Shortcake....

My family just cracks up when I am taking photos of food.....

But, I knew I had to share this recipe on the blog after 

 everyone loved this shortcake I 

made to compliment our yummy farmer's market strawberries.

I think the orange zest adds a little extra 'something' to 

make these simple shortcakes really special!

Whole Foods Market Simple Shortcakes

1 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon orange zest

1/2 teaspoon find sea salt

1 1/2 cups heavy cream divided

3/4 pound strawberries, hulled and chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons

sugar, baking powder, zest and salt.  Stir in 3/4 cup cream with a fork to make a 

rough dough.  Drop onto a parchment lined baking sheet to make four biscuits.

Brush lightly with cream and bake until deep golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Whisk remaining cream and sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. 

{or you can buy Redi-Whip, like I did}

I mixed the shortcakes up and popped them in the oven right before we

sat down to dinner.  They were still warm when we enjoyed them for dessert!
