Strawberry "Shortcake on a Stick" Recipe

1. 1

   Rinse strawberries and hull them by removing the green stem.

2. 2

   Quarter berries and combine with sugar in a bowl; toss to coat and set aside to macerate, at least 20 minutes.

3. 3

   The strawberries can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance and stored refrigerated in an airtight container.

4. 4

   Melt butter in a heavy skillet or pot over the fire.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and allow to cool.

6. 6

   Briefly mix with heavy cream and melted butter in a bowl until dry ingredients have been slightly moistened.

7. 7

   Press a handful of shortcake dough into a sausage-like shape around a cleaned stick or a metal skewer with a handle until it stays attached on its own.

8. 8

   Cook over an open flame, rotating often, until the outside is evenly golden brown and some parts are slightly charred, about 10 minutes.

9. 9

   (If you have too much dough on the stick, it will start to slip off as it cooks.)

10. 10

    To serve, remove shortcake from the stick and place in a serving dish.

11. 11

    Top with a spoonful of berries, some of the accumulated berry juice, and a generous drizzle of cream.
