My First Strawberry Shortcake
I don't know what Strawberry Shortcake is supposed to taste like but this version from Sally's Baking Addiction with biscuits layered with macerated strawberries and whipped cream was most excellent and received the coveted nephew mouth full thumbs up of approval.
The only thing you really need to make on the spot is the biscuits. Biscuits are totally the easiest thing to make especially if you do what I do and cut them into squares instead of circles. Also make cream biscuits instead of the butter biscuits shown here because those are even easier and I've found that they can rise just as high.
I was surprised to find biscuits in this recipe, but it makes a lot of sense -- biscuits are great with jam and macerated fruit is just like that. I think I'll try this out again some time using a combination of fruit for extra color.
