Description
A delightful summer treat featuring fluffy shortcakes layered with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for strawberries)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.
- Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Drop the dough by large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, forming about 8 shortcakes.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the strawberries. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside to macerate for about 10-15 minutes.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- To assemble, slice the shortcakes in half horizontally. Layer the bottom half with strawberries and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Top with the other half of the shortcake and add more strawberries and whipped cream on top.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to the strawberries for an extra zing.
- For a fun twist, try adding a layer of chocolate sauce between the strawberries and whipped cream.
