เราเขียนสูตรเป็นภาษาอังกฤษไว้ที่เวบไซต์อื่น เลยก้อปมาแปะไว้ที่นี่ด้วย ไม่ได้ปรับให้เป็นเวอร์ชั่นภาษาไทย คงไม่ว่ากันนะคะ







The recipe and steps have been adjusted from the traditional ones according to my taste and preference.

***To prepare a cake pan, grease the pan with shortening (shortening is butter or other fat used for making pastry or bread). sprinkle 1- 2 tsp of any flour into the pan. shake and tap the pan to coat it with the flour. dump out the excess flour. place wax paper or parchment paper on the bottom of the pan.

***Ingredients
3 pints fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries,
rasberries)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 egg
2/3 cup half & half
2 cups whipped heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
fresh lemon juice or fresh orange juice

***Directions
1. Slice the strawberries. Toss them with the raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, 1/2 cup of white sugar and a little fresh orange juice or lemon juice. Set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons white sugar, vanilla extract and the salt. With a pastry blender, gradually add the room temperature butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and half&half. Stir until just combined.

4. Spread the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool partially in pan on wire rack.

5. Stir heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or whisk it in a mixing bowl to make whipped heavy cream.

6. Slice the cake in three equal parts, making three layers. Cover the whipped heavy cream and place 1/3 of the berries on one layer. Then, top with the second layer. Repeat the same process on the second and the top layer to make three layer shortcake.
