This sounds yummy. Maybe I’m just hungry. But I got the most amazing strawberries at the farmers’ market the other day. One thing Seattle has in the summer is berries–straw, blue, rasp, and black. And more! Marionberries. Lingonberries.

Even gooseberries.

I’m going to try your recipe on the Fourth.

Real buttermilk.Mayfield’s will do, but Cruze’s, recently written up in NYTimes and sold at the Market Square Farmers Market is better.

@S. Le: I’m lazy too, but was surprised at how quick this one is. And so WORTH a couple extra minutes’ worth of measuring things…

@Waterjay: Oh yes, SO yummy! And I’ll have to look for Mary Emma Showalters’. Probably a little harder here in the States. Although… Hey, how about THAT! It’s available on Amazon, and there are even cheaper used copies there!

Now that's shortcake! Nonea this yellow spongecake in plastic wrap sold in supermarkets. I used to have both Schmecks and More Schmecks. We now own Mary Emma Showalter's Mennonite Community Cookbook, but the Schmecks books are more fun to curl up with on a rainy day.
