Submitted
by: Merribuck |
1 1/2 pints strawberries,
hulled and quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
1/2 cup well chilled heavy cream
3 tablespoons sour cream |
1 tablespoon confectioners'
sugar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 Individual short cakes |
| In a large bowl combine 1
pint of the strawberries and the granulated sugar and with a
potato masher mash the berries gently until they release their
juices, being careful not to crush them to a pulp. Add the
remaining 1/2 pint of berries. Let the mixture stand at room
temperature, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. In a bowl beat
the heavy cream with the sour cream and the confectioners' sugar
until it holds a soft shape and beat in the vanilla. Split the
biscuits horizontally with a fork, arrange the bottom halves on
4 plates, and spoon the strawberry mixture over them. Top the
strawberry mixture with some of the whipped cream and arrange
the biscuit tops on the cream. Serve the remaining cream
separately. Yield: 4 servings. |
