RECIPE
Strawberry Coconut Shortcakes
2 cups JIFFY Baking Mix
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp melted shortening
1/2 cup milk
shredded coconut (I used a bit more than 1/4 bag)
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp melted shortening
1/2 cup milk
shredded coconut (I used a bit more than 1/4 bag)
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine above ingredients, mix into a soft dough. Turn onto surface dusted with baking mix and knead quickly 20 times. Pat or roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 3 inch circles. Bake on ungreased baking sheet 8-10 minutes. Spoon sweetened fruit on top and between shortcakes. Serve with whipped cream mixed with shredded coconut. Makes 6 shortcakes.

I love Jiffy products...part of it is the aesthetics of their packaging and the fact the have been around since 1930. I will buy foods just because the packaging looks old. I also collect the real deal old food boxes and packaging too. I have a shelf in my kitchen that looks like a mini 1940's-50's pantry! Please tell me I'm not the only one out there that loves Rose-Dale fruit cans....

My husband has bought many Manischewitz kosher food products before just to have that orange box floating around the house. We're not kosher. We're not even Jewish.
We just picked a ton, and I mean a ton of strawberries. I have already made jam and sauce and frozen whole and muffins and you get my point, something strawberry and coconut and different! Fantastic, I will definately try it. By the way, I love the baking powder tins. And they keep coming out with new-- old ones, is that confusing? And I just keep buying them. I am up to my elbows in baking powder and I bake a lot!
O.K.~ now i have to sit through 4 hrs of training tonight thinking about this cake!

Your presentation is amazing. I think I will try out this recipe this weekend after visiting the farmer's market. Thanks!

Oh yes, you definitely must post a photo of the 40's/50's mini pantry!
Mmm. Never had the privilege of having tried srawberry shortcake before. When I was a kid I just used to think it was a pink cake with pink icing and a delightful artificial twee strawberry tang. Thankfully, you have made the real thing look even better than my hyper-pink imaginings.
mmmm...that looks yummy! there's berry stand everywhere in oregon right now! i've gotta try this!
oh how i wish i could have a bite.
looks devine :)
Do you know Mr. Toast? See http://mistertoast.blogspot.com/ and the various other mr. Toast sites including http://www.theimaginaryworld.com/page4.html. There you'll see more old food packaging (fabulous artwork!) and other good things. Enjoy!
