These shortcakes were a disaster! The biscuits were too dense and the filling was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

The shortcakes were a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I would add more butter to the biscuits next time.

These shortcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
