Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (240g) Bisquick baking mix
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 pounds (907g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) powdered sugar (icing sugar)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice (if using) in a bowl. Gently toss and set aside to macerate.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together Bisquick, sugar, melted butter and milk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Drop the dough by spoonfuls (about ¼ cup each) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or lightly greased).
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown.
  5. While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the whipped cream. In a cold bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Once the shortcakes have cooled slightly, split them in half horizontally. Spoon macerated strawberries over the bottom half, top with whipped cream, and place the top half on top. Serve immediately.
