Fruit Puddings with Soda Biscuit Dough

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the soda biscuit dough as directed on page 102.

  2. Bake the dough as shortcakes and split them in half.

  3. Spread the mashed and sweetened strawberries or other prepared fruit between the halves.

  4. Serve warm, but not hot. They can be reheated the next day in the oven until warm and crisp.
