Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your shortcake.
  • Make sure your biscuits are fluffy and light. You can use a biscuit mix or make your own from scratch. If you're using a mix, follow the package directions. If you're making your own, be sure to use cold butter and buttermilk.
  • Don't overmix the biscuit dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Bake the biscuits until they're golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through.
  • Let the biscuits cool completely before assembling the shortcake. This will help prevent the biscuits from getting soggy.
  • Use a generous amount of whipped cream or ice cream. This will add richness and flavor to the shortcake.
  • Garnish the shortcake with fresh strawberries and mint leaves. This will make it look and taste even more delicious.
