I love strawberries and this is one of my favourite desserts. The biscuits with the sweet and juicy strawberries and whipped cream are the perfect mix. Such a classic.

With strawberry shortcake, some people like a spongy cake and some like the biscuit better. I am a fan of the biscuit version and it is the only one we make.

Easy and Delicious Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

The biscuits for this recipe are super easy to make, so don’t worry. They are made with ingredients you probably already have at home. Just make sure you have the juiciest, sweetest strawberries you can find!

Note: Don’t have any buttermilk? You can make some with vinegar. Pour 1 Tbs. of vinegar into a 1 cup measurer and then fill the rest of the measuring cup with milk. Then gently stir the mixture and let it sit for 5 – 8 minutes. If you don’t have vinegar, you can use lemon juice or cream of tarter.
