Preparation

Step 1

Mix together flour, 3 tbsp. sugar, salt, baking powder, and butter until it resembles cornmeal. Slowly add in 2/3 cup of milk. Mix until dough is lightly formed and work lightly into a disk. Use Biscuit to cut out 8 biscuits. Place in greased pan. Brush tops of biscuits with remaining milk and sprinkle with 1 1/2 tbsp sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

In a large mixing bowl combine strawberries and the remaining sugar. Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes.

Split warm biscuits in half and begin layering. Start with strawberries, then layer the whipped cream. Place the other half of the biscuit on top. Top off with more whipped cream and strawberries.

(Optional) Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side of your shortcake.
