OLD-FASHIONED SHORTCAKE

This is a fabulous old-fashioned recipe given to me by a friend. It was her mother's recipe and it is the best shortcake. It sops up all the juice and the touch of nutmeg sends it over the top. My very favorite recipe for strawberry shortcake!

Time 15m

Yield 9 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
18 round mini dessert shortcake shells
1 quart mixed berries (raspberries,blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc.)

Steps:

Using a hand mixer, whisk together the cream, sugar and vanilla paste until stiff peaks. Set aside and keep chilled until ready to use.
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Wipe the grill with a thin layer of butter soaked into a paper towel. Grill the cake shells on each side until dark grill marks are achieved, about 1 minute per side. Set aside to cool.
Into the well of each grilled cake, place a nice dollop of the whipped cream. Then place berries on top of the cream, place another cake on top and sandwich the two together. Add a berry (or two) to a skewer and then skewer the sandwich together. Eat with your pinkies up.
