Strawberry shortcakes
An American classic, shortcakes are similar to British scones but with a much flakier texture, enriched by the addition of milk, double cream or sometimes soured cream. Piled high with whipped cream and syrupy strawberries, they are part of the American fabric of life. Served slightly warm fresh from the oven, you’ll soon see why
