Ingredients
Strawberries
- 1 quart strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup sugar (for strawberries)
Biscuit Dough
- 2 ⅓ cups Original Bisquick Mix
- ⅓ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar (for biscuit dough)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Topping
- Sugar (for sprinkling on biscuit tops)
- ½ cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, stir together the sliced strawberries and ½ cup of sugar. Let them sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to macerate and become juicy.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for baking the biscuits.
- Make the Biscuit Dough: In another medium bowl, mix the Bisquick mix, milk, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape and Bake the Biscuits: Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, forming 6 mounds. Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Assemble the Shortcakes: Start by placing one biscuit on a plate, add a few dollops of whipped cream, and then a layer of the macerated strawberries. Place another biscuit on top and repeat the layers.
- Finish and Serve: Top the assembled shortcake with more whipped cream and a strawberry on top. Drizzle some of the extra strawberry juice around the plate for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to ensure tender shortcakes.
- Allow the strawberries to macerate for at least 1 hour for maximum juiciness and flavor.
- You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the biscuits warm and fresh.
- Optional: You can substitute whipped cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
