I've never had southern shortcake before. What makes it different from other types of shortcake?

I'm allergic to strawberries. Can I use a different type of berry in this recipe?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a pastry blender. Do you think I could use a fork instead?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shortcakes turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These shortcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm always looking for new shortcake recipes to try, and this one didn't disappoint. The shortcakes were fluffy and the berries were perfectly tart.

I'm not usually a fan of shortcakes, but these were surprisingly good. The biscuit-like base was the perfect complement to the sweet and tangy berries.

I've tried many shortcake recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The instructions were easy to follow and the final result was delicious.

My grandma used to make this exact same recipe when I was a little girl. Her kitchen always smelled so good when she was baking these. Now I make them for my own kids and they love them just as much as I did.
