Lightning Strawberry Shortcake
Fresh, sweet fruit makes this quick dessert recipe a favorite for everyone.
Serves: Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 1 pint strawberries, washed, caps removed, and cut into quarters
- 3 TB. sugar
- 21⁄4 cups baking mix (the kind that only requires addition of milk)
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- Whipped cream
Directions:
- Prepare strawberries, sprinkle with sugar, and set aside in a covered bowl to macerate.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Pour baking mix into a large bowl and stir in milk to create dough.
- Turn dough onto a floured counter and knead for 30 seconds. Flatten dough with your hands to about 1⁄2 inch thick.
- Cut into your favorite shape (circles if you have a cookie cutter, squares, triangles … have some fun!), place on an ungreased baking pan or cookie sheet, and bake for eight minutes or until browned and crusty.
- When done, cool to handling temperature and slice horizontally so you have two flat pieces.
- Distribute bottom pieces to serving plates, top each with a large spoonful of strawberries and juice. Place top of each biscuit on strawberries, and top each with the remaining strawberry and juice mixture. Top with whipped cream.
