STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Prep Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh Strawberries.
  • 2 packed cups blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup starch potato or tapioca *potato gives the best texture.
  • 1/4 Tsp. Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons of baking powder I use double-acting
  • 1/2 cup of butter or shortening dairy or nondairy
  • A small bowl of Xylitol Truvia Baking Blend, Erythritol (or Regular White Sugar) *I used Truvia Baking Blend.
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • Powdered Sugar * see note in directions how to make homemade sugar free-powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake tray with 10 cupcake tins. Set aside.
  • Chop Strawberries and set them aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the blanched almond flour, starch, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the butter or shortening into pea-sized pieces. Stir in the eggs ever so gently until the dough holds together.
  • Take heaping teaspoon pieces of dough and roll them in your hand with a small pinch of strawberries. (Pressing the strawberries into the dough!) (NOTE: As the strawberries and the dough sit together the dough will start to get wet and mushy- this is why I’m having you add the strawberries as you form each ball vs. just mixing the strawberries in with the dough from the start).
  • Roll the round strawberry stuffed biscuit dough pieces in a small bowl of sugar. Place the sugar-coated ball into a muffin tin. Continue this process by placing 6-7 sugar-crusted balls into each tin. Press down gently just to help assure they stick together. Continue with this process until all ten cupcake liners are filled with mounts of sugar-crusted strawberry biscuit balls.
  • Place into oven and bake 30 minutes. The dough will feel cooked through and slightly golden.
  • Drizzle with the sugar glaze. Use either A) regular powdered sugar mixed with a tiny bit of water or lemon juice. or B) Make your powdered sugar by placing granulated sugar of choice (such as xylitol, Truvia baking blend, etc.) into a blender or coffee grinder. Process until sugar becomes powdered. Mix powdered sugar with a tiny bit of water or lemon juice to create a glaze.
