Directions
Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake with Sweetened Flavoured Whipped Cream, This is the way my Mom used to make Strawberry shortcake, and I still do. Historically, strawberry shortcake was served when the wild strawberries ripened in the meadows. The shortcake was a rich biscuit dough baked in a round cake pan. This recipe was taken from Mrs. George Treadway’s handwritten recipe book, dated 1898 and is now part of the historic collection in the museum at High River, Alberta., Have been trying different shortcake recipes to find one like Mom used to make. Sister copied her recipes and definitely left something out on the shortcake recipe. This shortcake tastes just like what Mom used to make ~ just slightly sweet, dense and moist. It’s the perfect compliment to the beautiful fresh strawberries that we’re enjoying at this time of year!!, This is a PERFECT classic shortcake recipe. I do not add any extra sugar to it because it is not meant to be sweet! The cake part is meant to be a biscuit; salty and slightly sweet. It is the whipped cream and strawberries that is meant to make it all come together. It is not meant to be a really sweet desert. I make this every Mother’s day for my mom because she loves it which is really saying something coming from MY mother! Thanks for sharing this treasure!
