Strawberry Topping

• 1 quart (4 cups) strawberries, sliced
• ¼ cup sugar

Shortcakes

• 2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
• ½ cup milk
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping

• 8 oz container Cool Whip (smaller size)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F to prepare for baking the shortcakes.
2. Prepare Strawberries: Combine the sliced strawberries with ¼ cup sugar in a bowl and set aside to macerate and release juices.
3. Make Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the Bisquick mix, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the shortcakes tender.
4. Shape Shortcakes: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Drop six evenly sized dollops of dough onto the sheet; no dough should remain after forming these portions.
5. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the shortcakes are golden brown. Watch the bottoms carefully to prevent overbaking.
6. Assemble: Once warm, split each shortcake in half. Top the bottom halves with a generous layer of Cool Whip and spooned strawberries, then place the top halves back on. Finish by adding a couple of strawberries and a dollop of Cool Whip on top for an attractive presentation.

Notes

• For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries to enhance sweetness and flavor.
• The dough should be soft but not sticky; avoid overmixing to maintain a fluffy texture.
• Watch shortcakes closely while baking to ensure they don’t dry out or burn.
• Cool Whip can be substituted with whipped cream if preferred for a fresher texture.
• Leftover shortcakes can be stored in an airtight container and reheated briefly before serving.
