Ingredients

Scale

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.
