The difference between Brits and everyone else

[gsgary]

Reduth is the most horrible place I have ever been to - and I have been to most towns in England.

You have not been to Bradford then

Another difference: We eat cookies, in fact cookies are the favorite desert in the US where as they have Biscuits. Not to be confused with our biscuits served with butter, jam or honey or my favorite smothered in sausage cream gravy.

See you guys just can't do your baked goods. Your scones are biscuits; your biscuits are cookies your cookies are uncooked and eaten as dough and I don't know what the heck but you get other things wrong too

No, our baked goods are quite good. You all have just mislabeled them

Scones and biscuits are different. I understand what you call biscuits are what we call cookies, but I don't think what you call scones are what we call biscuits. Your scones may be fluffier than ours and look slightly different, but they're still sweet. Biscuits here are generally savory.

Our biscuits basically lack only two thing from their scones. My biscuit and my scone recipe ingredients:
Biscuits
Ingredients
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup buttermilk, chilled

Scones
Ingredients
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup cream
1 egg

I have been in some parts of the country where they do put sugar in their biscuits. Generally when using them for strawberry shortcake.

Perhaps if you got the two villages to combine in the middle, perhaps as a suburb of Worcester you could rename it Bradruth ****hole.

And that's why it's called strawberry shortcake and not strawberry biscuit

Oh don't tell me you like that spongy angel food type cake like thing for your strawberry shortcake? Try it sometime with my scone recipe and see what you think.

One granddaughter spent the first 5 years of her life in England, therefore picked up most of the accent and terminology. Upon returning to the States her older brothers worked it out of her, but she can go back into the accent at will. Very cute!

If I could bake a half-way decent scone, I'm sure I would want strawberries on it.

What the hell are you talking about? Shortcake and sponge cake aren't the same thing.

It's not tough. Try this recipe. Just leave out the currants or cranberries and don't sugar the strawberries quite as much when you cut them up.

Ingredients
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup cream
1 egg
Handful dried currants or dried cranberries

Directions
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix well. Cut in butter and shortening. In a separate bowl, combine cream with beaten egg then add to dry ingredients. Stir in fruit. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Roll dough out and cut into biscuit size rounds. Bake for 15 minutes or until brown.

This is the way the recipe was given to me. The only change I have made is I sift my dry ingredients onto a plastic foldable cutting sheet and then ad them to my wet mixture in a large bowl. I do this slowly, about 1/3 at a time until it is just incorporated, before adding more of the dry ingredients. Just the way I learned to bake.

Have you never seen these in your grocery store?

Disgusting things that seem to be quite popular.

Yes, I have seen those, but a) we don't have Publix in the northeast, and b) those are not called shortcake here.

They are made by a host of different companies and while they are called shortcakes they are not in my book.

On a different note you might enjoy this.

As I just said, they are not called shortcake here. Not even on the package. They are called dessert shells.

Canon vrs Nikon vrs Sony. UV filter or no UV filter. Manual mode or some other mode.

I'd seen them all. The great philosophical debates of the ages, played out time and time again here on TPF. But nothing had truly prepared me for the short cake vrs sponge cake Armageddon that was about to ensue....

 

[Watchful]

I can remember back to a time before the Spongecake Wars had begun. It was a peaceful time, a time of understanding and compassion, then on that fateful day in 2016, the world itself was cast into turmoil the likes of which had never been imagined before, the day of the sponge heard round the world...
