“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

PLACE BERRIES in a colander and quickly rinse under running cold
water. Pour on a tray lined with several thicknesses of paper towel
to drain for 5 minutes. Hull the strawberries with the point of a
stainless-steel paring knife, then slice into a bowl. Sprinkle with
sugar and lemon juice, then set aside, covered, at room temperature
for an hour or two. Whip the cream (add a couple tablespoons of
sugar, if you like) until it holds a soft peak. Cover and
refrigerate. Preheat the oven to 450F; set rack in middle level.
Prepare biscuit dough. For a large shortcake, pat the dough into a
9-inch disk on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. For individual
shortcakes, pat dough into a 6-by-12- inch rectangle and cut into
eight 3-inch biscuits with a sharp, floured knife. Transfer to a
parchment-lined cookie sheet. Paint tops with buttermilk. Sprinkle
with sugar. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until well risen and golden.
Check the center of the large shortcake with a toothpick to make sure
it is baked through: If the pick emerges with dough still clinging to
it, lower temperature to 350F and bake another 5 minutes. Slide the
large shortcake onto a platter immediately after it is baked. Use a
sharp, serrated knife to slice through the middle, making two layers.
Slide the edge of a cookie sheet between the two layers and lift the
top layer off. Butter the bottom layer and pour all but 1/2 cup of the
sweetened berries on. Slide the top back on and pour the remaining
berries over the top. Split the small shortcakes in the same way and
place the bottoms on individual dessert plates. Butter them and top
with about 1/3 cup of the berry mixture. Replace tops and pour a
tablespoon or so of the remaining berries over the top. Serve
immediately. Pass the cream in a bowl for the guests to help
themselves. BUTTERMILK BISCUIT DOUGH: COMBINE THE FLOURS, salt and
baking powder in a mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Rub in the
butter by hand or with a pastry blender until the mixture is mealy.
Stir in 3/4 cup of the buttermilk with a fork and continue stirring
gently until the dough begins to hold together. (If the dough is dry,
add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Sprinkle the work
surface generously with flour and scrape the dough onto it. Fold the
dough over on itself two or three times. Use the dough immediately
for shortcakes, following the instructions above. Use this recipe to
make a large shortcake or eight small ones. This same dough is used
as the topping in cobbler recipes.
