Strawberry Shortcake

This strawberry shortcake recipe was one of the first desserts that we adapted to be gluten-free for the cookbook. It’s always been a crowd-pleaser, and this early success motivated us to keep pushing forward with GF baking, despite some occasional challenges and setbacks along the way.

1
To make the shortcake: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grease an 8-inch round baking pan.

Stir together the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Combine the egg and milk, and add to the dry ingredients. Stir to form a thick batter.
