I checked the book out from the library on a whim. The shortcakes turned out to be very good, with mint from the garden, local strawberries, and some nice cream from a good dairy.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the recipe I used. it has some variations from the one in the book.<\/p>\n<p>For the Shortcakes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups organic whole-wheat pastry flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup of fair-trade, organic sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 cups organic unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small chunks<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup organic buttermik or keifer<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup organic heavy cream, plus more for brushing<\/li>\n<li>lemon zest from one organic lemon (about 2 teaspoons)<\/li>\n<li>Organic raw sugar for sprinkling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder<\/p>\n<p>Add the butter a few cubes at a time, pulsing between additions. Continue to pulse if necessary\u00c2\u00a0 until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Put it in a large bowl and set it aside.<\/p>\n<p>In a medium bowl mix the buttermilk, cream, and lemon zest. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until a dough forms.<\/p>\n<p>Turn the dough out to a floured surface and gently knead it until it comes together. Using a rolling pin or your hand, make a 3\/4 inch level disk. Let the dough chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Heat the oven to 400 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>For the Strawberries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 pints fresh or organic strawberries, hulled and quartered.<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint.<\/li>\n<li>a scant 1\/4 cup of sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let the strawberries it in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the\u00c2\u00a0 dough from the fridge. Using a glass or a cookie cutter, cut circles\/squares\/hearts that are about 2-inches in diameter. Place them on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Brush each with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake about 15-18 minutes, until they are pale brown.<\/p>\n<p>Whip more cream. When the shortcakes come out of the oven, put them on a rack to cool. When ready to eat cut each in half horizontally and put a layer of cream then a layer of the strawberry mixture, then more cream (if you want to) Put the top on, add more cream or strawberries as you desire.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This recipe is from Organic and Chic: Cakes, Cookies, and Other Sweets That Taste as Good as They Look by Sarah Magid.
