The Wandering Goose’s Mouth-Watering Summer Dessert
You won't want to miss out on the Friday special strawberry shortcake
By Seattle Mag June 10, 2015
Everyone knows that Heather Earnhardt makes the best biscuits in town. But last summer, I discovered she’s also a master shortcake baker, when I had the strawberry shortcake at The Wandering Goose, Earnhardt’s bakeshop and biscuit sandwich spot. The shortcake—a lightly sweetened, butter- and cream-moistened version of her biscuit recipe—was split and filled to bursting with sliced, peak-season strawberries tossed in elderflower syrup, and then topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream strewn with torn mint. It’s summer on a plate. Take note: Strawberry shortcakes are a special only on Fridays, all day and into the evening, when Earnhardt hosts her weekly fried chicken dinners.
