Lemon Shortcakes

Cambria: "self, self. " (toddler-ese for I can do it myself)

After we were finished, she went out on the porch to feed her naked baby some snacks. . .

. . .while I cleaned up all of this!

They were amazing!

Lemon Shortcakes

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar powder (we have to use it up, right?)

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup shortening

2/3 cup milk

zest from one lemon

Crumble shortening with dry ingredients and lemon zest, add milk and stir lightly till the mixture forms a ball. Cut out into 5 circles; place in round pan. Brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for 12 - 15 minutes. Serve with strawberries and ice cream!
