Chicken à la King Shortcake

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a food processor, pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to combine. Add the butter. Pulse briefly until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the milk and pulse again a few seconds at a time until the dough begins to forms a ball. Remove the dough from the food processor. Shape into a ball.

3. 3

   On a floured work surface, roll the dough into a 15 cm x 23-cm (6 x 9-inch) rectangle. Cut into 6 squares and arrange them on the cookie sheet.

4. 4

   Bake until the shortcake begins to turn golden, about 25 minutes.

5. 5

   Let cool, then cut each piece in half horizontally. Set aside.
