Ingredients
  

For the Strawberries:

  • 1 lb. fresh strawberries sliced
  • ¼ c. granulated sugar

For the Shortcake:

  • 2 ⅓ c. Bisquick
  • ⅔ c. milk
  • 3 tbsp. sugar
  • 3 tbsp. melted butter

For Serving:

  • Whipped cream Cool Whip, or homemade whipped cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and ¼ c. sugar. Stir well and place the bowl in the refrigerator while you prepare the shortcakes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the Bisquick, milk, sugar, and melted butter until just combined.
  • Drop the mixture onto a baking sheet in 6 evenly sized mounds.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
  • For serving, split a biscuit in half. Add whipped cream and strawberries (along with some of their syrup) to the bottom half. Place the top half on, then add more whipped cream and strawberries.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For the best flavor, let the strawberries sit in sugar for at least 30 minutes. This creates a sweet, juicy syrup perfect for soaking into the biscuits.
  • Gently fold the shortcake ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can make the biscuits tough instead of soft and tender.
  • Homemade whipped cream takes this dessert to the next level. Whip heavy cream with a bit of powdered sugar and vanilla for the perfect finishing touch.
  • For a hint of sweetness, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the biscuit mounds before baking. You can also brush them with melted butter for a golden finish.
  • Shortcakes are best enjoyed warm and freshly baked. Assemble them just before serving so the biscuits stay crisp and the whipped cream doesn’t melt.
