Ingredients
Strawberries
- 1 quart strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup sugar (for macerating strawberries)
Biscuit Dough
- 2 ⅓ cups Original Bisquick Mix
- ⅓ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- Sugar, for sprinkling on top
Assembly
- ½ cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with ½ cup sugar. Stir well and let them sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to release their juices and become juicy and flavorful.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the biscuits.
- Make the Biscuit Dough: In another medium bowl, mix together the Bisquick mix, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Shape and Bake the Biscuits: Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, forming 6 mounds. Sprinkle the tops lightly with sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown.
- Assemble the Shortcakes: Place one biscuit on a plate, add a few dollops of whipped cream, followed by a generous layer of macerated strawberries. Top with another biscuit and repeat the layering. Finish by adding extra whipped cream and a strawberry on top. Optionally, drizzle some of the extra strawberry juice on the bottom of the plate for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh ripe strawberries.
- Don’t overmix the biscuit dough to keep it tender.
- Let the strawberries macerate long enough to get juicy.
- You can substitute whipped cream with a dairy-free alternative if needed.
- Serve immediately after assembling for optimal texture and flavor.
