SCD Recipe: Shortcakes for Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake is one of  my favorite summer (or anytime really) desserts. I’ve tried several different SCD recipes to use as the cake part in the past, but this is my favorite! Usually they’re more like muffins, which is fine, but I really wanted something that was more like a biscuit.


These turned out exactly the way I wanted them. They’re light and a little crumbly. They work perfectly for shortcake. They’re not sweetened so they’d also work great for a savory dish like a pot pie or an accompaniment for soup.

I made these thin, but if you wanted something thicker like a biscuit that you would slice you could make them a little thicker and possible adjust the cooking time to a little longer to be sure they cook through.

For the shortcake I just sliced some fresh strawberries and let them sit for a little bit to get a little juicy. You could also thaw frozen strawberries to get more juice.

I whisked some SCD yogurt with some vanilla and honey for the filling. This recipe would also be perfect for yogurt made with heavy cream.
