EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Although available year-round, fresh strawberries are at their best from April to June. Go ahead and use other in-season fresh fruit when your grocery store’s strawberries look less than spectacular.

No need to limit yourself to strawberries! Anything from apricots to watermelon works well, too.

What a great biscuit! I've never made strawberry shortcake before and I'm so glad I found this wonderful recipe. I always questioned eating a biscuit for dessert, but it really tasted great. Although perfect the way it was, I might add orange zest to the batter next time. It looked beautiful out of the oven. I didn't cut the cake horizontally or put butter on it. I cut it into triangles. I ate it at room temperature. What I really liked was that if I wanted to eat it warm, the strawberries and shortcake were done at about the same time. The great thing about it is that I'm going to use this as a biscuit recipe whenever I want biscuits!

have always made the regular shortcake recipe as my mother and grandmother had. life is so busy now, not like it used to be. everyone in a hurry now. Cant believe I didn''t think of making the recipe in a 13 x 9 or even an 8 x 8 inch pan but it is the way I make it now and will forever and I will pass this recipe down as the other was passed on to me. Bisquick was part of growing up!

The only recipe I ever use for shortcake. I have such fond memories of home-made strawberry cake as a child. We often added cream or milk instead of whipped cream to our shortcake. My favorite aunt, Aunt Nellie, always took us strawberry picking and then we would have that favorite shortcake. Her shortcake, homemade, tasted just like this Bisquick one. She is 85 years old now with Parkinson''s disease in a nursing home. I am baking one this aft. and as a surprise, having it served to her this evening. I picked strawberries with Rachel, my 8 year-old grand-daughter yesterday. I hope it is a fond memory for her and that she also makes this recipe for her family someday with the beautiful story behind it.
