A summertime classic, this strawberry shortcake features flaky, buttery biscuits topped with sweet, juicy strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. It’s light and refreshing, making it a perfect treat for warm days.
Strawberry shortcake is an ideal breakfast delight with a fair amount of calories but with a relatively low fat level for being a dessert.
A vanilla-scented, buttery, freshly made spongecake doused with good berries and a mountain of cream can be a marvelous dessert. The ripeness and sweetness of the berries is essential for any good strawberry shortcake, so if you can taste before you buy, please do.
