STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BY CHARLOTTE TAYLOR / PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAUREN LABOYTEAUX
SLICED FRESH STRAWBERRIES, IN A BIT OF SYRUPY GOODNESS.
SWEET BISCUITS:
For this easy dessert, you can simply purchase an angel food or pound cake from most any grocery store, top it with your favorite fresh berries, along with some whipped topping, and you’ll have one of the quickest desserts in the books. Come out of the kitchen wiping your brow and everyone will think you’ve slaved for days! If you want to try a homemade version, the biscuit type shortcakes are super quick, and have a bit more crunch and texture than an angel food cake. To keep things simple, we can even make ‘em in a food processor. Drop the dough on a baking sheet and bake until golden. After they’ve cooled, split them open to serve, spoon on some syrupy fruit goodness, and top with a dollop of whipped cream. The angels are already singing. Do you hear them?
3 cups flour 3 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 ½ stick butter, cut into pieces 1 ¼ cup buttermilk ½ teaspoon almond or vanilla extract, optional
SWEET BISCUITS:
• • • •
1 quart fresh strawberries, blueberries or an assortment of your favorites! ½ cup sugar ½ cup orange juice ¼ cup water
Whipped Topping or Whipped Cream WHAT TO DO: 1. Preheat oven to 400. Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to the bowl of your food processor. Drop in pieces of butter and pulse until it is completely cut into the flour mixture. Add flavoring to buttermilk and while pulsing, drizzle the buttermilk into the dough until it just comes together and is no longer crumbly. Do not overmix. 2. Drop dough by a large spoonful onto a baking sheet covered in non-
stick spray. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool before serving. 3. Wash berries and slice strawberries (if using) and place into a medium
size bowl. Sprinkle on ½ cup sugar, orange juice and water. Stir gently and set aside for about 30 minutes to allow the syrup to develop. 4. To serve, slice open a biscuit, top with fruit and a bit of syrup, and finish
with a good dollop of whipped cream. Deliciousness. These little biscuit beauties can be made ahead and frozen, or baked and filled the day you make them. It’s summer, make it easy on yourself for goodness sake. Now, go find a porch swing, sit back, and savor the bounties of the season! ENJOY! Charlotte Taylor has a passion to help young couples learn the basics in the kitchen. She posts weekly recipes that are simple, delicious, and easy to recreate at CharlotteTaylorCreates.com.
JUL-AUG 2015 THE WEDDED BLISS |
Growing up in the South, strawberry shortcake can mean a lot of different things. Sliced fresh berries, in a bit of syrupy goodness, is how you must start out, but then things can get a bit tricky. Do the berries get drizzled onto light and fluffy angel food cake or a simple pound cake? Sweet biscuits or baked pie crust scraps covered in cinnamon sugar? So many options, and as you might guess, we tend to favor what we were served as we grew up. I hope you will try your hand at strawberry shortcake this summer, and you’ll flash back to the front porch days at grandma’s house in an instant.

One of the first questions a newly engaged couple asks themselves is, “Where should we have the wedding?” It seems like a simple question, but like most wedding planning decisions, it's a bit more complex. Eagle's Bluff Country Club, in Bullard, Texas, knows a couple planning their dream wedding has a plethora of venues to consider, which is why they take extra special care of their clients and handle every wedding venue detail, from setup to cleanup.
that the venue and its team of professionals handles everything a couple could want, from decorative items and tableware to favor placement and dining selections. Not only is Eagle's Bluff an all-in-one kind of venue, it's also undeniably picturesque, boasting a backdrop of towering pines, oaks and dogwoods on the shores of Lake Palestine. This 27,000 acre lake is only minutes outside of Tyler, but offers a quiet setting for residents and guests alike. Eagle's Bluff also plays host to natural creeks and ponds, wildlife (bald eagles and deer) and a signature par 71
golf course nestled within century-old trees, making the club a fine alchemy of natural and modern luxury. The Grand Chateau, the country club's newly remodeled banquet center, is an elegant display of fine carpets, chandeliers, artwork and design that compliments a couple's wedding-day vision. The chateau comfortably seats up to 250 guests, and the outside wedding area, which overlooks the golf course and wedding fountain, holds up to 200 guests.
and executing over 1,000 weddings. Their attention to detail and professionalism is what ranks Eagle's Bluff Country Club as one of the top venues in East Texas.
Let's not forget the top-notch menu that Eagle's Bluff offers, courtesy of Chef Rick Neal who was named 2014 East Texas Chef of the Year. Rick, originally from Phoenix, Arizona, moved to Texas in the 1990's and honed his craft under the direction of Chefs Gunars V. Pencis, Jack Bretzke and Jackson York. His journeys led him to Eagle's Bluff Country Club where he worked his way up to Executive Chef and wows guests and residents with his creative culinary skills and delicious menu items.
Jay says it's all about the details when it comes to planning a wedding. In fact, the country club's mission statement is, “Managing the details to make the memories.” It's true
“I love our food tastings,” Jay said when asked what he loves about his work at Eagle's Bluff. “Having Rick Neal as our chef is so much fun. Watching the reaction of our clients
Jay Miller, Eagle's Bluff Director of Membership, Weddings and Banquets has been with the club since September 2014. As a past golf course owner in California, each of Jay's courses executed over 50 weddings a year. Jay and Denise Sparlin have combined experience of planning, overseeing
Whitney (Cavender) Edwards & Todd Edwards
the venue six months to a year in advance. “This is a must,” he says, as the benefits of hosting a wedding at the country club are unmatched. Custom wedding packages, at rates every couple can afford, include wedding planning from beginning to end. Eagle's Bluff has relationships with many well-respected vendors, so couples don't have to look to outside sources for rentals. It's an all-in-one service, and as Jay noted, not only do couples receive stressfree wedding planning, but also, “the venue and beauty, unmatched food quality and menu selections, staff, planning, execution and pricing.” For a busy couple juggling everyday life and wedding planning duties, a support team like the one at Eagle's Bluff is comforting to have. Jay, Denise, and the rest of the country club staff take care of the details so the bride and groom can focus on other things, like celebrating and living happily ever after.

and their families at our food tastings is so rewarding!” Jay also loves the events themselves and seeing all the hard work and planning come together, especially when the mother of the bride's face lights up with excitement and joy. When it comes to planning a wedding at Eagle's Bluff, Jay recommends couples bring their wedding-day vision to the table. With the vision as a starting point, Jay and Denise, Food and Banquet Manager, create a plan. “We work backwards by listening to our client's dreams and budget,” Jay says. “Within this process we point out past events that were fun, guest pleasing and memorable. We insert ideas that work by using past experiences and our created event process list.” Jay is confident that all client weddings will be executed without one detail being overlooked and is proud of Eagle Bluff's dedication to creating a dream wedding day by listening to clients first and foremost, “God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason.” With its gorgeous views, generous amenities and enthusiastic team of caring professionals, Eagle's Bluff Country Club is growing in popularity with the wedding planning crowd.
