主题:【原创】怠工持续中 --- Strawberry shortcakes -- GraceUSA
最近五天只开过两次火,一次做了土豆烧肉(女儿要求的),另一次做了小白菜烩面筋。
昨晚,女儿传话:“妈妈,老师说明天早餐要吃好,因为我们有star test,很重要!”
不能再偷懒了。
今天做了这个Strawberry shortcakes 给她当早餐。步序不繁琐,偶尔为之可以接受。
女儿吃了一口,马上发表感慨:“It is soooooooo good!”
看了下面的方子你就晓得这个cake有多rich! 当早餐还好,千万别把这样高热量的东东做晚餐的饭后甜点!
这是没加草莓和鲜奶油的,也很好吃。口感有些像scones.
方子来自WILLIAMS-SONOMA
Fresh warm shortcakes, split and filled with whipped cream and sugared strawberries, are an old fashioned American tradition.
For the dough
2 cups cake flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1TB baking soda
1/2 tb salt
1 large egg
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inche pieces
1/3 cup heavy cream
For the fillinging
3 TB granulated sugar
4 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup whipped cream
In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Using 2 knives cut in the butter until the mixture forms large, coarse crumbs the size of small peas. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the 1/3 cup cream until blended. Pour the egg mixture over the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula just until moistened.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently until the dough clings together. Pat out into 8 rounds. Place them 1 inch apart on the prepared pan.
Brush the cakes with cream and sprinkle evenly with the sugar.
Bake at 425F until golden brown, 13-17 min. Transfer to rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.

拼死吃河豚不敢,吃蛋糕还是敢的,就是没福。你老公哪一世修来的好福气啊?!
打发我老公的吃喝很容易的。
物质丰富了反而不敢吃了。还记得徐家汇那个衡山食品店吗?N多年前常看到人们排队买苏打饼干。那时候,绝不会认为蛋糕太rich.
我倒是发现结婚后厨艺进步很大,要满足老婆可不是太容易的。
星期六早晨吃,确实不错。
ShortCakes看起来外表干松内里轩软,感觉像是初干的泥地。一口咬吓去,牙齿切入外壳的感觉,应该跟走在初干的泥地上,忽然一脚陷了下去差不多。
草莓是最适合whipped cream的水果,就像桃是最适合yogurt的水果。
晚饭时间饿着肚子看甜点还不算太受刺激。
美食家都是这样,把吃的乐趣用最贴切最易懂的文字描述出来,使读者满口生津,浮想联翩。
我对有文字功底的人一直敬仰。
经典的组合总是有无穷的魅力:whipped cream and strawberries; yogurt and peach; chocolate cake and raspberries.
我觉得比喻还算形象但不贴切,只是想象力有限,实在是说不出来其它的来了。
raspberries和chocolate cake确是经典的组合,尤其是用dark chocolate或是加chocolate muse。
难怪甜品做得这么棒!
