Yikes, when I logged in to post this weeks TWD recipe, I realized just how long it had been since I posted last. GASP. It’s not that I haven’t been baking/cooking because I have! I may be, um, just a little backed up in the blogging department. I’m back on it now though, thanks too to the fact that I picked up my first ever CSA share today from Potomac Vegetable Farms in Vienna, VA. SO EXCITED. It’s like Christmas every Monday – this week I have swiss chard, garlic scapes, turnips, fresh dill…just a big bag full of beautiful leafy greens that I can’t wait to dig in to!
Anyhoo, back to this week’s recipe, chosen by Cathy from The Tortefeasor. Way back in my more confused days, I used to whip up shortcakes using Bisquick (yes, I know). Then one of my friends showed me the light – and the ease and deliciousness – of whipping some up from scratch. I have a recipe I’ve been using for several years now, so was interested to see how these compared.
I made them straight from the recipe, just adding a touch of cinnamon (like I do to everything), and found them to be just lovely with some fresh berries. My old recipe and this one don’t differ too much, I can keep both on rotation!
nice presentation in that square bowl!
Beautiful! These were delicious.
Great looking shortcake! Your biscuit looks perfectly done.
Welcome back
Love the mix of berries in your shortcake!
It looks perfect! I love the mix of berries.
Welcome back to TWD! Im glad you enjoyed the recipe. Your shorcake looks great!
Glad you’re back! Your shortcakes look just perfect (way better than Bisquick!) and I am so glad that you enjoyed them! Thank you so much for baking along with me this week!
