Do you sometimes have too many strawberries and too little time? Or maybe you want a way to make them last longer? Well here’s a recipe for you.
Portable Strawberry Shortcake
4 c flour
1 c sugar
1 T bk powder
1 t bk soda
1 c butter
2 c buttermilk
1 1/2 c chopped strawberries
coarse sugar for sprinkling
Combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Add strawberries and stir in milk (gently). These are a drop biscuit, so stir just until combined. Drop onto lined cookie sheets and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 375F for 18 minutes.
These are so yummy straight from the oven, warm and crispy.
If you leave out the berries, this is delicious shortcake for any kind of fruit or even a plain biscuit.
lol… Paula these sound so good and so easy! I had to try the recipe this a.m. My two nieces are here with my children for a sleepover. Great to have on hand for them!
But… mine turned out kind of flat. Is that normal? I used frozen strawberries from my picking last year. My butter was cut in coarsely.
Having said all that, they are still yummy!
Thank you for another great recipe.
Hmm, could be a combination of frozen berries (wetter) and maybe over mixing? I know I sometimes get flat ones towards the bottom of the bowl. I also make them fairly compact and high before going in the oven. Glad you enjoyed them.
Great idea, just grab and go! 🙂
