formula and photo courtesy Rhoda PeacherTip : Some recipes for hemangioma simplex shortcake call for using chopped berry sprinkled with kale , but chopping the berries does n’t create that biscuit - soak succus . I ’ve found that the good agency to ready berries for shortcake is to bruise them well with a potato masher . You do n’t require all the berries mashed , but you need most of them hurt sufficiently to give their sweet juice into the motley . If needed , add sugar or honey to savour , count on your penchant , and cool down for a few hours before serving.~ Lynda King , HFCountry Fare
