Vintage Strawberry Shortcake
Shortcake is really a rich baking powder biscuit; in this case, a very rich drop biscuit with a high portion of butter and two egg yolks. You can’t get more old-fashioned than that. And, as they could only gild a lily in the good old days, we suggest you butter the biscuits, too. You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten shortcake this way – and, very important, straight from the oven. These would thrill everyone at a summer party.
