Strawberry Shortcake Cups Recipes

Steps:

In a small bowl, beat egg and milk; stir into flour mixture just until moistened. , Fill 8 greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 425° until golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from the pan to cool on a wire rack. , Just before serving, split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon berries and whipped cream between layers and over tops of shortcakes.

Steps:

• Lightly flour the balls and place in a wax paper-lined tortilla press and press to 4 1/2" in diameter. If the dough is still too sticky, lightly flour the waxed paper. Note: Original recipe has you using a rolling pin, rolling the dough out to 1/4" thickness and cutting out rounds with a drinking glass. Using the tortilla press was much easier for both adult and child.
• Place each flattened round in the buttered muffin tin. The dough should line the cup and come up to the brim. Original recipes says to crimp the edges but I skipped that part.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Let cool in the pan before removing to a plate.
• Meanwhile, prepare the strawberries. Wash and hull the berries and cut them up into either slices or small pieces (small pieces for our toddler). Toss with the sugar and set aside.

Set aside and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Using a pastry brush, paint the entire inside of three cupcake liners with the melted white chocolate; don't be shy-really slather it on. Transfer to a plate. Do the same with the melted milk chocolate and three more cupcake liners. Place on the plate, next to the white chocolate cups, and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes. Remove the cups and repeat for a second layer. Return the plate to the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely set, at least 30 minutes.
• Remove the cups from the refrigerator and carefully peel the cupcake liners away from the chocolate. Use immediately or return to the fridge until ready to use.
• For the strawberry shortcake sundaes: Scoop 3 tablespoon-size scoops strawberry ice cream into each white chocolate cup. Top each with the shortcake, strawberry sauce, whipped cream and red sprinkles.
