Strawberry Shortcake


In our first farm share box, we received 3 pints of strawberries. In the second, we received 4 pints. These are fresh picked, organic strawberries and they do not last more than a few days. So I came up with a simple, decadent shortcake recipe.

1 pint strawberries
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 frozen Trader Joe's Buttermilk Biscuits

Clean and slice strawberries. Place in bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 the sugar. Stir. Allow to macerate 20-30 minutes.

Follow directions for baking the biscuits. They take about 20 minutes.

Prepare whipped cream with cream and remaining sugar. Whip with electric mixer until thick.

Allow cooked biscuits to cool slightly. Slice each biscuit in half. Spoon almost 1/2 the strawberries onto each biscuit. Top with whip cream. Pour remaining strawberries and juice over the two shortcakes.

Makes 2 servings.
