Shortcakes con frutillas
Esta receta es especial para los que estan en verano en este momento porque las frutillas estan en su esplendor.
En todo caso aqui aun se encuentran frutillas. Y sino se podrian usar congeladas igual queda rico.
Tambien se puede hacer con frambuesas o moras.
Los shortcakes son parecidos a los scones pero más blandos, y estos llevan polenta.
Ingredientes
300 grs. frutillas o fresas
(frescas o congeladas)
3/4 taza de azúcar granulada
1 taza de harina sin polvos de hornear
1 taza de polenta
2 cucharaditas de polvos de hornear
6 cucharadas de mantequilla
1 pizca de sal
1 huevo
1/2 taza de leche
2 tazas de crema batidas
2 cucharadas de azúcar impalpable
Preparación
Cortar las frutillas en cuartos y mezclar con 1/4 taza de azúcar, dejar reposar por unas horas
para que tengan mas jugo.
Precalentar el horno a 190°.
En un bol combinar la harina, el resto de azúcar, la polenta
y polvos de hornear. Mezclar bien.
Agregar la mantequilla en trozos y la sal mezclando con las puntas de los dedos.
batir el huevo y la leche y agregarlos a los ingredientes secos.
Enmantequillas una fuente de horno y con una cuchara o un porcionador de helados colocar en formas redonda sobre la bandeja.
Llevar a horno por unis 15 a 20 minutos o hasta que esten dorados.
Dejar enfriar.
Batir la crema hasta que tenga una textura firme de picos suaves,agregar el azucar glass y o impalpable y batir unos minutos más.
Cortar los biscuits a la mitad y rellenar con crema y una porción de frutillas.
