Devilish Shortcakes with Caramelized Bananas - Tuesdays with Dorie

Devilish Shortcakes with Caramelized Bananas 

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Tania of Love Big, Bake Often chose the Devilish Shortcakes on page 425 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. 

You know I'm all about the mini. They are cute. They are small. And they are all about portion control. Unless you eat 5 of them. Well, let's just focus on the positive.

I scooped these out with a cookie scoop and baked them from 10 minutes. A bit of sanding sugar topped the biscuit before baking...because life is just better with sanding sugar.

During this time of year, our selection of berries was pretty sad. I had to work last Saturday and couldn't visit the farmers market so I knew I needed a different fruit. What else goes with chocolate? Of course, bananas!

I caramelized the bananas. A dollop of whipped cream would be nice...but I was all out.

Today is Tuesday. Guess what NEXT Tuesday is?! Hellz yes! My 40th Birthday! You know I've been building up to this for the last six months or so...and I can't believe it is almost here! Whoo hoo. My friend and I are going to take a 3-day Mexican cruise for our birthdays (Helen's birthday is Dec 4th and mine is Dec 7th). (Note to bad people: Our homes, cars, identity & credit scores are all protected and under guard while we are gone!)

Check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers and see their creations!
