I really want to make a great strawberry shortcake for my boyfriend because he really loves them. Please help me create the best shortcake he has ever tasted.
If I'm trying a recipe I've never had any experience with, I always like to go with one from a professional (celebrity, usually) baker. I swear by Mary Berry's recipes, but I couldn't find her recipe for Strawberry Shortcake in my collection, or I'd've copied it for you.
Coming up a close second is Nigella Lawson, and her recipe is online at :
http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/strawberry-shortcake-149
This isn't a single shortcake, but 8 small, individual ones.. I can't see that they'd be much different, it's worth a shot anyway.
Good luck; hope your boyfriend enjoys the treat..!
I always think that having individual portions of a dessert / cake rather than slices makes it look really professional, like from a restaurant or something. Maybe it's just me! I guess it's somewhat typical of Nigella to change a traditional recipe like this, though.. it's an American dessert, so I had no idea that most people hadn't seen them made like this before!
I guess it would also be quite simple to halve the recipe and make only 4, especially if you have a small family / not many to feed.
Let us know how it goes.
