I keep seeing recipes that call for a cup (!) of butter (Strawberry Blondies), or they want you to do that thing where you cut up butter and rub it around in flour until it's either like meal or has pea-sized pieces of butter (yeah no, no rubbing around), or I feel doubtful if I have an appropriate pan size or type, or *something*. I just want something quick (prep-wise), easy, and forgiving, but also reasonably yummy.
I have what I think will be about 2 cups of fresh sliced strawberries. I have flour, eggs, butter, milk, cream, yogurt, flour, baking powder, baking soda, all the sugars, vanilla, most spices. I have a fairly deep ceramic pie pan, a shallower (maybe "standard"?) glass pie pan, a good 8x8x2 non-stick pan, a 9x13x2 pyrex casserole type, a good standard size nonstick loaf pan, and a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. I don't want to be pouring, flipping, stacking, and warming pancakes, or anything similar. I can make whipped cream.
I'd like to make something that requires a minimum of fiddling, and doesn't call for tons of butter or sugar. I mean it's dessert, so I'm not really looking for a diet recipe, but like a CUP of butter, two CUPS of sugar? No, please.
So, tl/dr: lazy non-baker seeks nice, forgiving, not extravagantly caloric recipe for about 2 cups (maybe a bit more, haven't sliced them yet) of strawberries. Something homey is fine, it's just for us two. Like, ideally, imagine that I spend about 10 minutes putting it together if the strawberries are already sliced, and it bakes while we watch Wednesday. :) |
