Taste of Home Magazine Edition May 2020



Here is the recipe in a Taste of Home magazine May 2020 edition.


I was thrilled to be featured in this popular food magazine.




Strawberry Season!



This is my go-to recipe when Spring has sprung and Strawberries are in abundance.


This flaky shortcake crust is divine and the whole cake is irresistible.


I absolutely love the streusel with a hint of fall flavors also, it's very different from the traditional strawberry shortcake.


This has an old-fashioned shortcake flavor with an almost cake-like thick batter.


When the whole cake is baking everything just melds into one perfect shortcake and it's delicious served warm or cold!

Moist and Delicious



This strawberry buttermilk shortcake made from scratch is truly moist and bursting with that country biscuit delicate flavor!


It's the perfect all-in-one skillet for brunch or after-dinner dessert.


This brings a warm smile to my face, with great memories of my childhood to our table every time I bake it.


Mom always made this in her cast iron skillet, I am happy to still have hers and can make this in her memory.

Easy To Make



You can use any kind of baking pan you have, fitting a 9x9 or 10-inch baking pan.


I love the skillet for not only baking but even for presentation, it gives the shortcake that old-fashioned goodness.


A huge scoop of my favorite homemade strawberry ice cream is always served with this.


It's a very easy recipe to follow and you will not be disappointed with the results.

Slicing the Strawberries



I know how pretty this looks to serve but placing the strawberries in a flower pattern, it's so easy.


Just slice the berries, make sure you blot them dry before placing on top of the streusel.


Keeps the endpoints of the sliced berries all in one direction in a circular pattern.


Sprinkle the top of the berries with a cinnamon and sugar mixture or just regular sugar for a sparkling look after they bake.

The Streusel Topping



This buttery streusel topping is so yummy.


Make sure you use cold butter when making this mixed with the ingredients.


This keeps its form and makes the perfect crumb topping.


You can omit the spices if you don't like them.

Baking This Shortcake



Always preheat the oven.

Get Creative



I understand many folks have fruit allergies, don't be afraid to substitute your favorite fruits to make this skillet shortcake.


I have made this with blackberries and raspberries combined, peaches, and even apple.


I am sure you can get creative and use any fruit you prefer.

Strawberry Puree



Just save a few fresh strawberries for a garnish to drizzle over the top.


I usually add around 6 to 7 washed fresh berries to the food processor with either sugar or a sugar substitute and pulse until it's a liquid.


When serving just drizzle over the top of the whipped cream.

Tips:


  • Use only a dairy good grade buttermilk (don't use a substitution made with vinegar, I used gourmet buttermilk)
  • Measure all ingredients perfectly
  • Preheat the oven
  • If you choose to add the batter directly to the cast iron skillet grease it heavily
  • Any 9x9 or even 10-inch pan can be used instead of the cast iron skillet
  • Blot dry the strawberries after washing and slicing and use only firm ones
  • You can omit the spices if you're not a cinnamon or allspice fan
  • Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top for the glisten during the baking process or just sugar
  • Do not overbake this use a toothpick method in the center to see if it comes out clean
  • If you have a strawberry allergy you can use raspberries, peaches, apples or blueberries instead
  • Save some strawberries for garnish making a puree in the food processor
