Ingredients
- 2 cups 270 grams gfJules® All Purpose Gluten Free Flour or 220g Nada Flour*
- 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 4 Tbs. cold butter or vegan butter
- 2 large eggs or preferred egg substitute like aquafaba
- 3/4 cup 6 oz. vanilla yogurt (dairy or non-dairy) (I like So Delicious® Vanilla Coconut Yogurt)
- cinnamon sugar mixture 3 Tbs. sugar + 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Toppings/fruit of choice homemade coconut whipped cream recipe
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F (static) or 375° F (convection).
- Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut butter into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two butter knives.
- Add stirred, cracked eggs (or replacer) and yogurt and stir well with a fork until combined, forming a smooth dough that is not dry or sticky. (The dough may also be made using a large food processor or stand mixer with flat paddle, but do not over-work the dough).
- Pat dough out onto a surface dusted with gfJules® All Purpose Flour to a thickness of about 1 - 1 1/2 inches. Cut into circles with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass (note: the sharper the cutter though, the higher the rise in the shortcakes, as the edges will not be compressed, and thus can rise in layers). Push straight down with the cutter -- do not twist.
- Gather any dough not already cut and press together to re-cut until all dough is used. Place shortcakes onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and lay a small pat of butter or non-dairy substitute on each top (optional) then sprinkle with the pre-made cinnamon/sugar mixture, if desired.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or just until the tops are lightly browned. Do not over-bake! Serve topped with fresh berries, ice cream, homemade coconut whipped cream and/or yogurt.
- Makes approximately 10-12 shortcakes, depending on thickness.
