Strawberry Shortcake

Rach decided she was in the mood for strawberry shortcake.

You will need:

• 1 package of strawberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Whipping cream
• 1 1/2 gluten-free flour mix
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. xanthan gum
• 1 tsp. guar gum
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. shortening
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg white

Wash and removed the stems from strawberries.  Slice into 1/4" slices.  Put into a bowl and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar and mix.  Set aside for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine dry ingredients and cut up shortening until it's the size of small pesa.  Add milk and egg white and blend well.  Form dough into 3/4 inch thick circles and 2 inches across.  Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Spoon strawberries over each shortcake and top with whipping cream.
