Strawberry Shortcake..what a delight!

I felt like a true baker when I made this recipe. I had to knead the dough (which was fun!) and separate into 12 biscuits. They were made from spelt flour so again, not gluten free but defiantly a great alternative from wheat flour! So, i ran out of coconut oil...sad, but really you can just use butter, as long as it is solid form it can work. So I used butter and almond milk and the texture was fabulous. FORGET that angel food cake you buy at the grocery store (that is basically air...) this is way better. I sliced up some strawberries to add to it and cut the biscuit in half to serve. There is a gluten free, dairy free vanilla frosting recipe that I attempted, but botched horrible, when I find one I can do I'll post it for sure! I ate this for dessert and then the next morning ate it for breakfast, it's not too sweet to be either! My husband LOVED THESE!! He was taking them to school and eating them plain, like a biscuit...just heat them for up for about 20 seconds and you got yourself a hearty snack! Tonight.... Raspberry Scones!! Happy baking!
