Nothing compares with the combination of fluffy shortcake biscuits, split open and steaming and loaded with sweetened fresh berries topped with clouds of whipped cream. Use strawberries, blueberries or any berry in season!

Review This Recipe

easy, exactly what I was looking for!

Michelle Fowles from Playa Del Rey, CA

It was a fool proof recipe!! I added a teaspoon of orange zest to the strawberries. Also I par-baked the shortcakes before my company arrived. When the time came for dessert I brushed the tops with melted butter and sprinkled on some turbinado sugar crystals. Used a store-bought light whipped topping....YUM!!
It's strawberry season!

Angeline Adams from HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA

I love strawberry shortcake and this recipe was so easy and quick to make. I used Splenda instead of sugar and drowned my shortcake in milk to add extra flavor and it was great.

Fighting for the last one

T Hogg from Dillsboro, IN

I made the shortcakes and added peaches instead of strawberries. Now there are only three of us, so I figured on batch along with a holiday meal would be plenty. when the dishes were done there was an arguement, over the last one! I will definitely be making these again, EASY!
Great Shortcake

Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

I love making shortcakes any time of the year. But this recipe makes it sooo much nicer than my old one. It doesn't take much time at all to make it so you can even have it at the last minute if you need to. I put mine in the oven while we was eating dinner so when we had dessert it was fresh from the oven. My family loved this recipe and so do I. Thanks for sharing it.

SUSIE DOTY from CHARLOTTE, NC

This is the easiest way to make shortcake. My mom use to use the shortening style, a long time ago. I have cookbooks but this recipe was so easy to find here on your site! I want to add that I made it in a square dish and baked for 30 minutes at 400ºF. It is delicious just like mom made.

This was my first time ever making Strawberry Shortcakes from scratch. I thought it was fairly easy to make. It had just the right amount of sugar. We really enjoyed the taste. Strawberry Shorcake will be one of our regular desserts from now on.

Strawberry Shortcake

MARIANNE FRANK from North Tonawanda, NY

Quick and easy and powdered milk helps in a pinch when you find you are out of milk. I like to add a tespoon of vanilla to give it just a little different flavor.

Easy and fantastic.

Eric Harper from Decatur, GA

Easy recipe. After spliting the shortcakes in half, I buttered each half and put them under the broiler for a few mins to lightly toast them. Then I added my berries and served vanilla ice cream on the side. This is a fabulous desert with sweetened peaches too.

Kid tested

STEPHANIE TORRES from Santa Barbara, CA

I had my grandchildren help me with this one, Sierra was the mixer, Jakob was the Stawberry putter oner, and Jesi, was the taste tester. They were pretty comical together doing this, were going to try more, we added a little more sugar to the dough, I have a serious sweet tooth.
Terrific

Wonderful!

Krystal George from Lancaster, OH

This recipe reminds me of a strawberry shortcake I used to have when I was a little girl. I highly reccomend people try this!
Strawberry shortcake

Teresa Salvador from Pennsgrove, NJ

We all enjoy this. The way we do is to put the strawberries in a bowl and the shortcakes in another plate and have each person make their own at parties. This way they don't get soggy.
