My boyfriend loves Strawberry Shortcake. I think it is his favorite dessert. Due to this fact, I have attempted a number of strawberry shortcakes over the years. But, as you can tell by the lack of any mention of them on my blog, they were not successful. I don’t know what it is. The biscuits would be too dry, or too sweet, or too hard. Never quite perfect. Until now.
Amusingly, the trick was that I should stop searching the web for the perfect recipe and just go with a trusted source. Bisquick.
I’m sure you’re saying, seriously Katie? Are you really going to post a recipe you found on the back of a Bisquick box? And the answer is, heck yes I am. Because these are the best darn-tooting shortcakes I’ve every had, let alone made. So I’m telling you, go buy a box now. Because don’t you want to be eating this?
And as the weather gets nicer and nicer, the strawberries that are showing up are just getting redder and tastier.
Mmmmmmm… Strawberries….
If I were Homer Simpson, you would see my head back and I would be drooling with strawberry fantasies right now.
Why yes meme generator, just like that.
So what is Strawberry Shortcake anyways? Other than a super adorable character from the 80s of course.
Strawberry Shortcake is a sweet cake or biscuit that is cut in half and layered with sugary strawberries and piles of whipped cream. This recipe makes biscuits that are incredibly soft, crumbly, and not too sweet. The shortcake should be a soft medium to eat the strawberries and cream. If it is too sweet, it might be overpowering and make the whole thing a little sickly. I think you will find this combination of shortcake and cream, just the right amount of sweetness.
My man was very pleased with this success. We ate the whole batch over the course of a few days. I’m pretty sure we could have knocked them out in one day if we had allowed ourselves to. They are just so good.
These will make your summer strawberry dreams come true.
Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
Directions:
In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Add in vanilla and sugar and continue beating until the peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Strawberries
Slice 4 cups strawberries. Mix with 1/2 cup sugar and set aside.
Shortcakes
2 1/3 cups Bisquick mix
2/3 cup milk
3 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
Raw, large grained sugar for sprinkling on the top
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425
Stir mix, milk, sugar, and butter until soft dough forms. Drop by 6 spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle the top with the raw sugar. This makes the biscuits prettier, and gives the top a nice occasional crunch.
Bake 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Split warm shortcakes in half. Fill and top with strawberries and whipped cream.
Enjoy!
