Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, stir cornbread mix, melted butter and egg until stiff dough forms. Onto ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough in 6 mounds (about 1/3 cup each).
  • 2
    Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix strawberries, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the basil. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • 4
    In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. To serve, split shortcakes. Fill and top with strawberry mixture and whipped cream.
