Paint tops with buttermilk. Sprinkle with sugar substitute. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until well risen and golden. Check the center of the large shortcake with a toothpick to make sure it is baked through: If the pick emerges with dough still clinging to it, lower temperature to 350F and bake another 5 minutes. Slide the large shortcake onto a platter immediately after it is baked. Use a sharp, serrated knife to slice through the middle, making two layers. Slide the edge of a cookie sheet between the two layers and lift the top layer off. Butter the bottom layer and pour all but 1/2 cup of the sweetened fruit on. Slide the top back on and pour the remaining berries over the top. Split the small shortcakes in the same way and place the bottoms on individual dessert plates.

Pink Crustacean Cheese Biscuits

Categories: Quickbreads Servings: 1

1/4 ts Garlic salt or powder

1/4 tb Parsley flakes

1/4 ts Italian seasonings

1 lb Biscuit Mix from above

8 3/4 oz Cold water

1/4 lb Cheddar cheese, -sharp,grated

1/8 c Butter or margarine

 Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix biscuit baking mix, water and cheese. Drop by large spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. After baking, (while hot) brush on melted butter or margarine mixed with garlic powder, parsley flakes and italian seasoning. (Amounts will vary by the size batch you make, but a little goes a long way.) Serve hot. The Red Lobster manager's recipe is for a large quantity, so you'll have to reduce the ingredient quantities by the size batch you desire. Note: For a smaller batch I usually use 2 C. Biscuit baking mix, 1/2 cup cold water, and 3/4 c. grated cheddar which will yield about 12 biscuits. You may also substitute soda water or gingerale for the water, if desired.
