Tips:

  • For the perfect biscuit, use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, use your hands to quickly bring the dough together, being careful not to overwork it.
  • To make sure your biscuits are fluffy and light, be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • To make sure your whipped cream is stiff and fluffy, be sure to use cold heavy cream and beat it until it forms stiff peaks.

Strawberry shortcake is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
