Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits

Sunday, June 28, 2020
This is how to make Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits from scratch.

I have three recipes for old-fashioned biscuits, low-carb biscuits, and diabetic biscuits to choose from.

This is one of our favorite desserts in Florida all summer long during strawberries season.

We just love using fresh strawberries for our Strawberry Buttermilk Skillet Cake Strawberry Cream Pie and of course a favorite Strawberry Cheesecake.

Since I am pretty lazy on cutting biscuits and rolling, this is easy, drop them into a muffin or cupcake tin, bake, and hey if you have too much freeze them for another time, at least that's what I do.

You can also drop them on a cookie sheet or even a 9-inch cake pan to make one large one and decorate it for a party theme in colorful fruits.

These basic recipes are all very good you just need to choose the best one for your lifestyle.

The Perfect Summer Dessert!


When the strawberry season hits, I am so happy!


We use them for so many recipes from baked goods to even jams!


It's one of the most versatile fruits, but if you aren't a fan of them, this is really a biscuit recipe right?


So use whatever fruits you like!

Biscuits



These biscuits taste great with just jam, honey, or plain.


They can also be used for a bacon egg and cheese biscuit for breakfast.


Great grilled with butter too!


Just get creative, they're not that sweet so they are perfect with chili and other meals.

Individual Shortcakes!



Ok so I must admit, I don't know what took me so long to use cupcakes or muffin tins for biscuit making.


It hit me one day when a relative was allergic to strawberries and I thought instead of one big
shortcake, individualize them, and make everyone happy!


It worked like a charm,


I just set up a fruit bar of chopped fresh fruits and a bowl of whipped cream and they all made their own shortcakes!


The best part is every single one was perfectly formed and looked perfect!




The Dough



The dough is nice and thick, you can roll and cut them since the old-fashioned version will work nicely if you want that smooth biscuit look.


Otherwise, this dough can be in shaped pans, muffin tins, baking sheets in rounds, or other styles we have several suggestions below.


Just make sure if it's on a cookie sheet your spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart as they will spread a little.
