Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Old-Fashioned Shortcake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C) and generously greasing an 8-inch baking pan to ensure your shortcake releases effortlessly.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and a hint of nutmeg to infuse warmth into your batter.
Step 3
Next, introduce cold, cubed butter into the mix, using two knives or a pastry blender to cut it in until the texture resembles delightful coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined, then gently fold this mixture into the flour blend, stirring just until everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 5
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to create a perfect base.
Step 6
Slide the pan into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 7
Once baked, let the shortcake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, allowing it to set before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Enjoy the anticipation as you await the moment to savor your homemade creation!.
