Cooking with Crohn's: Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Recipe for Shortcake

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour

  • 2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 3/4 cup heavy or whipping cream

  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

  • Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl.

  • In a separate bowl, beat together the cream and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to form a cohesive dough.

  • Scoop the dough in 1 1/2-ounce balls onto the baking sheet; use the palm of your hand to gently flatten each to about 2" to 2 1/2" diameter.

  • Brush the tops of the shortcakes with cream, and sprinkle with coarse white sparkling sugar.

  • Bake the shortcakes for 10 to 12 minutes, until they're risen and baked all the way through; break one open to make sure.

  • Remove the shortcakes from the oven, split, and top with berries and whipped cream. Store, well-wrapped, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
