Field editor Sue Ross of Casa Grande, Arizona shares this delightful downsized recipe that makes just two biscuit-like shortcakes. Fill them with fresh fruit of your choice and top with whipped cream for an impressive dinner finale. Ingredients:
1 cup mixed fresh berries |
1/2 cup sliced fresh peaches or nectarines |

1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons shortening |
3 tablespoons 2% milk |
whipped cream |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the berries, peaches and 2 teaspoons sugar; set aside. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Stir in milk just until moistened. Drop by 1/3 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten into 2-1/2-in. circles. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
2. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon fruit onto bottoms; replace tops. Garnish with whipped cream. Yield: 2 servings.
