Strawberry Shortcake

These shortcakes are yummy!

1/4 cup sugar
2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter
1 egg beaten
2/3 cup milk

add sugar, flour and powder together. Cut in butter until it makes coarse crumbs. Add eggs and milk to dry mixture, stir to moisture. Drop dough in ungreased mounds. Flatten to 3/4 inch thick. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden. Let them cool. Serve with strawberries and a yummy whipped cream.

Snickerdoodles

These are pretty good and thanks to this article, I am freezing the extra dough to make another time!

1cup shortening/butter/margarine (I used butter-flavored shortening)
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs

Mix all these with a mixer until you can tell the eggs have been well beaten

2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt

Put all these in together, and mix well with mixer. Then roll into 1" diameter balls and roll them in this mixture:2 tbsp sugar2 tsp cinnamon. Place on a cookie sheet, and cook for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You will know when they are done because they will appear slightly cracked on the top. They will puff up, then collapse as they cool. Recipe from: http://colliesue.blogspot.com/2010/03/snickerdoodles.html
