For shortcakes: 1 cup gf flour 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder Dash of salt 1-1/2 Tablespoons sugar 4 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter 1/2 cup cream 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon milk Sugar
For strawberries & cream: 1 cup gf vanilla ice cream 1/2 cup gf sour cream 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks 4 cups strawberries, sliced
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a bowl combine ice cream, sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix well. Fold in whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate.
Sprinkle strawberries with 1/3 cup sugar and toss to evenly coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine gf flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in butter until largest pieces are the size of peas and the rest resemble breadcrumbs.
In a separate small bowl, combine cream and oil. Add cream mixture to dry ingredients until just moistened.
With a lightly gf floured hand, gather dough into a ball and knead it gently against sides of the bowl until bowl is fairly clean.
Roll out dough to about 3/4 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch rounds.
Place shortcakes on an ungreased baking sheet, at least 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, combine egg yolk with a teaspoon of milk. Brush tops of shortcakes with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake shortcakes for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Cut shortcakes in half horizontally. Place bottom layer on serving plate; top with strawberries and a dollop of ice cream mixture. Place remaining shortcake layer on top of strawberries. Top shortcakes with another dollop of ice cream mixture. Serve immediately.
