Star Recipe of the Month:
INGREDIENTS
SHORTCAKE BISCUITS:• 2 cups all-purposeflour • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar • 4 teaspoons baking powder • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)• 1 cup milk
STRAWBERRY FILLING:• 1 quart strawberries• 4 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING:• 1 cup whipping cream• 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
GARNISHES:• 4 whole strawberries• Green fruit leather • Mini chocolate chips or M&M’s
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Sift together theflour, sugar,baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut in themargarine with a pastry cutter. Or use a vegetable grater to grate
the stick into the mixing bowl and let your kids take turns
blending the margarine into the dry ingredients with their fingertips. Once the dough is crumbly, slowly stir in the milk.
2. Turn out the dough onto afloured working surface and gently roll or pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle (it should
measure about 6 x 8 inches). For the best results, handle thedough as little as possible.
3. Slice the rectangle into four 1-1/2- x 8-inch strips. Place thestrips on an ungreased baking sheet, then let your child moldand curve them into S shapes that resemble snakes. Bake for
10 to 12 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Transfer the baked shortcakes to a wire rack (a parent’s job) and let cool. Carefully slice the cooled shortcakes in half lengthwise or split them with a fork and then set aside.
4. Wash the strawberries and let your kids select four to use for
the snakes’ heads. Slice the rest of the berries lengthwise into
a mixing bowl. Toss with the confectioners’ sugar and let stand while you prepare the whipped cream.
5. Combine the whipping cream and confectioners’ sugar in achilled bowl and beat with an electric or hand mixer until stiff
peaks form.
6. Just before serving, arrange berries on the bottom half of each shortcake, then cover with the shortcake top. Spread onwhipped cream and add a layer of sliced strawberry “scales.”
7. For the snakes’ heads, cut mouth openings in the tips of thewhole berries and place one at the end of each shortcake.Press a pair of mini chocolate chip or M&M’s eyes into thesides of each head and add a forked tongue cut from greenfruit leather.
