Strawberry shortcake from The Pie and Pastry Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Good, straightforward strawberry shortcake recipe. Biscuits were wonderful. Recipe says to use 1/2 cup berries per person, which would leave some left over; I used all of them and was happy with the amount of berries. Slicing the berries would have made for neater assembly, plus might have exuded more juice. I only got a few tablespoons of juice (from 1/2 recipe), so I did not reduce it. I just used perfect whipped cream, but think one of the other variations (e.g., lemon curd cream) would make these extra special.

    Gelatin and creme fraiche are only needed for some of the optional fillings, not for the basic recipe.
