BISQUICK STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir together strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar; set aside for about 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 425°F
• In another medium bowl, stir Bisquick® mix, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter until a soft dough forms.
• Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls into 6 mounds onto ungreased cookie sheet; dust with sugar.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in a chilled small bowl whip the cream, adding a drop or two of vanilla and a teaspoon of sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
• Serve one of two ways:.
• 1. Split warm shortcakes; fill and top with strawberries and whipped cream, or
• 2. Break up one biscuit per person into big pieces into a dessert bowl. Ladle strawberries over the biscuit; add a dolop of whipped cream.
• COOK'S TIP: Alternatives to strawberries could include raspberries, blueberries & peaches, and my favorite, apricots & honey (Soak dried apricots in warm water for 1 hour; chop fine. Gently toss apricots with honey and let stand awhile to blend flavors. Serve over shortcakes.).
