In a previous Vegetarian Journal<\/em> article titled Beyond Strawberry Shortcake<\/em>, writer Debra Daniels-Zeller states \u201cOne\nof America’s favorite desserts, strawberry shortcake, became popular in the\nmid-1800s. It was originally a rich pastry with fruit baked inside that\neventually evolved into a sweet biscuit pastry topped with fresh strawberries\nand fresh cream. Today, there are countless versions that use various cakes,\nsuch as sponge cake, pound cake, angel food cake, and the traditional biscuits.\nMany of the shortcake biscuit recipes are ultra-rich, calling for up to a stick\nof butter and then cream added on top of that. And, of course, they all call\nfor the traditional strawberry topping with subtle variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \nThe concept of using different toppings once occurred to me when I had\nan abundance of apricots and cherries a few years ago. I created a\nlavender-vanilla flavoring base for the fruit and layered the fruit between two\nhalves of sweet maple-orange biscuits. Then, I topped it with my favorite\nvanilla soy yogurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \nI was soon hooked on the great shortcake experiment, using cooked and\nraw fruits. Eventually, I moved on and used raw vegetables and finally cooked\nvegetables as sides and main dishes. Now, I often keep frozen sliced biscuits\non hand, ready to thaw for quick dinners or easy desserts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
