Super Easy Strawberry Shortcake

Hi!

This is a very strange sounding recipe and I had my reservations but alas it was as tastey as it was easy. You will most likely have all the ingredients in your house. GFers and non-GFers alike loved it.

The recipe is from recipe zaar and is as follows. Enjoy!

1/2 cup butter

1 cup icing sugar (confectioners/powdered)

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup cornstarch

1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12-muffin pan (or use liners).

In a large bowl cream butter and sugar, using electric mixer.

Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.

In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and baking powder together and add slowly to the creamed mixture. (If added too quickly, it will fly about the kitchen.).

Mix until well blended.

Fill the greased muffin tins half full.

Bake for 15 minutes. (Test with a toothpick, after 15 minutes, even if the top looks shiny).

Remove from the pan while still warm. (They will look like little cupcakes.But trust me they will taste just like little shortcakes).

Serve topped with strawberries, and whipped cream.

I'm also going to make them tonight!! Did you put cool whip on top or just leave the strawberries as the only topping?

Hi!

I hope those of you trying this tonight enjoy it!! We put whipped cream on top of the strawberries. I am sure any topping would be great - cool whip, whipped cream, etc.

I think this would be good with any kind of fruit too. My son (who actually does not have celiac and is very picky re: gluten-free food) at 4 of the muffins with butter and jam in one sitting.

Have fun!

Hi,

You are right, they are Very tasty !! I just made them.

I have a recipe that calls for angel food cake cut up and comstock blueberry filling and comstock strawberry filling, powdered sugar, cream cheese and cool whip and vanilla. You mix the cut up pieces of angel food cake (which I think these litte short cakes would be wonderful in) with the powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla and coolwhip, and then you layer in the blueberry and strawberry filling. I always make this on the 4th of July or when my family feels like having it. I will use you little short cakes in it from now on.

If anyone would like the recipe let me know and I will post it.

Thanks again

Sue

Hi!

Here's another really fun idea . . . I made these little shortcakes again tonight (soooo easy!). I filled half of the muffin tins with the batter, then to the remaining batter I added cocoa powder. I filled the other half of the cups with the chocolatate mix and then I added a little choc. batter to a couple of the vanilla ones for a marbled effect. So we ended up with three different kinds of cakes.

All came out great and I have very happy kids! I'm thinking the chocolate ones would be good with vanilla icecream and toppings.

Hey,

great picture . . . making me hungry! Try 'em in chocolate next. We sliced them into round disks and made like little woopie pies by putting whipped cream between two disks. Yum!

Very strange but delicious recipe!

      Family education

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By peg · Posted

      Hi Scott, You mentioned in your response that you have been taking supplements long term.  What brand(s) do you take?  I ask because I've had a very difficult time finding truly gluten free supplements that have not made me sick over time from allowable trace amounts of gluten within the FDA's acceptable limits. Thank you, Peg
