This easy and delicious classic Bisquick™ Strawberry Shortcake is a great way to enjoy fresh strawberries and whipped cream in a light dessert that takes barely any time to make!
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Get out a cookie sheet and set it aside.
Toss the strawberries with the 1/4 cup of white sugar in a large bowl, then set aside.
Add the shortcake ingredients into a medium bowl, then mix together until they come together in a soft dough and are incorporated together completely.
Make 6 shortcakes out of the batter. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet, making sure that there is space between the 6 piles of batter.
Bake the shortcakes for 10 to 12 minutes, until baked through and golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and leave on the cookie sheet.
Using a mixer, beat the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together, beating continuously on high speed until soft peaks form.
Remove the shortcakes from the cookie sheet.
Cut the shortcakes in half horizontally, making a top and bottom half.
Place some strawberries and whipped cream on each of the bottom pieces, then place a shortcake "top" on top of them. Place a slice of strawberry on top of the shortcake top, with some whipped cream and garnish with a sprig of mint for color if desired!
These are best eaten while the shortcakes are warm. Bisquick products tend to dry out somewhat after baking.
Notes
You can sub in blueberries, raspberries or any other seasonal berry, they are delicious as well!
