I made....

Dairy/Gluten free Strawberry Shortcake

Drop Biscuits or Shortcakes

Makes 10-12 biscuits or 6 shortcakes.

Ingredients

2 cups NamastePerfect Flour Blend

2/3 cup Milk(I used Silk Dairy free Cashew unsweetened milk)

1 Egg

3 tsp. Baking powder

1/2 to 1 tsp. Salt, to taste (optional)

2 tsp. Sugar

8 tbsp. Cold butter or shortening(I used Spectrum brand - Organic Shortening, Butter Flavor non-dairy butter spread)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine egg and milk and set aside. Combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter with two pastry knives, pastry cutter, or I am using my food processor until butter is the size of small peas. Add wet ingredients all at once and toss gently with a fork until mixture barely stays together if using a food processor just a few pulse until dough forms but not overworked. (Over beating mixture will make for tough biscuits). Drop batter onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

For shortcakes: increase sugar to 1/3 cup, reduce salt to 1/2 teaspoon and press or roll out dough to circles 3/4" thick.

Strawberry topping :

Hull the strawberries then Slice. Mix chopped strawberries with 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract & 2-4 tablespoon of sugar , stir altogether and chill in the refrigerator let it macerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Assemble strawberry shortcakes -Serve with whipped topping .
