Mini short cakes!

Happy weekend everyone!!! Hope everybody is getting into the Halloween spirit :), I love love love this time of year, light rain showers, thanksgiving, leaves are changing, an we get to pick out a costume!!! soo exciting!

I know this doesnt apply to my title but i was super excited and wanted to share my excited-ness with you all!.

So tomorrow my family and I are doing our own little turkey dinner. Homemade stuffing, turkey, veggies, gravy & certainly the desert! which I am making Strawberry shortcakes for =) Yummmm. Its like the taste of summer in a different season =P.

So to me a strawberry shortcake isnt a short cake without it being biscuit like. Dense, but sweet and airy with that sweet ruby red strawberry sauce dripping over the edges & a nice tall dollop of sweet whiped cream.. *homer drools* =O*** haha.

Here we go!
2 Cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
1 stick of cold butter
2/3 to 3/4 cups of milk
Add the liquid until the dough its moist and holds together.
Gently roll out and cut your desired shapes. If you want to be creative for your sweet hearts<3 You can use a  cookie cutter in the shape of their favorite things!
Bake at 425 for 10-15 mins. Let cool, split, and top with your favorite whiped cream & strawberry sauce!.

Strawberry sauce.
1-2 pints of fresh strawberries cut
2 tbsp of sugar
let sit in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow the strawberries to soften

Whiped cream.
1 small cont. heavy cream
splash of vanilla ext.
3 tbsp sugar.
whip until it forms soft or stiff peaks (when you pull the whisk up and it holds its shape)
