Gluten-Free Strawberry Almond Shortcake

February 22, 2014 by Susan 1 Comment

Contrary to popular belief…”gluten-free” does not mean “will taste less amazing” . In my opinion..this gluten-free version of Strawberry Shortcake is even more flavorful and delicious than it’s glutenous cousin.

I’m pretty convinced I have some food allergies or sesitivities and I’ve been playing around with determining what they are. Trying to rule out some of the major offenders…I’ve been eating gluten-free for the past couple of weeks.

My favorite local market ( think Whole Foods healthy organice but locally owned) had a display of these most perfect looking strawberries.

I brought the berries home because…well…they were just screaming…”Susan..PLEASE take us home”…not really sure what I was going to do with them. So many options. They had been displayed right next to some beautiful looking short cakes, and I was wondering if I could create a gluten free version of the short cake?

So now let me take stock of whats in the kitchen…i have strawberries…check…i have gluten-free Bisquick..check…I have whipping cream…check…butter/sugar/ eggs..check, check, check,…i have vanilla extract and milk…oh crap..no…but what can I substitute? oh I have vanilla flavor Almond milk..ok that will work..commense cooking..here’s my adapted, and really YUMMY version.
