Did not have self-rising flour so used King Arthur's all purpose and added 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Was so easy to mix up, just stir a bit by hand. I added 2 tablespoons more cream, my area is less humidity than most. Made seven shortcakes and flattened them slightly and sprinkled with turbinado sugar, (skipped brushing with liquid first under the sugar - was in a hurry). Baked 14 minutes. They came out just perfect. Put blueberries and whipped cream over them. The turbinado sugar stuck to the tops unaided and was wonderfully crunchy, and i liked it better than when I've brushed with milk or cream first on top first, previously. Thank you King Arthur for all your work on these recipes. Will be using it now for shortcake for all the berries and peaches etc.
