Mary Pickford’s Strawberry Shortcake

“The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.”
I have finally cracked open the box of Biscuick that Rosalind kindly lugged all the way back from the USofA for me. I have two lovely 1930s recipe books for the weirdness that is Biscuick and so I wanted to try some using the real McCoy. Mary’s little Shortcakes were very cute indeed. A visiting Paul Newman proclaimed them to be a hit, awarding them “100 out of 10”.
Some that I overcooked made it into a Bank Holiday trifle too – I gave them a good old fashioned soaking of cheap sherry to soften up their crispy bits. Mmmm – soggy cake and custard.
