Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits

Strawberry Shortcake With Biscuits

Strawberry Shortcake With Biscuits is very yummy. I am actually surprised I made this strawberry shortcake.  I usually don’t like strawberry shortcake.  I’m not quite sure exactly what it is, but the biscuit is usually too dense, or dry, or savory for a sweet dessert.  But, I wanted to make something that was a little on the lighter side for dessert.

Delicious Biscuit

Delicious Biscuit, I found the perfect recipe.  This biscuit is so light and fresh it just melts in your mouth.  It has just the right amount of sweetness and pairs perfectly with the slightly sweet whipped cream and strawberries.

The ultimate summer dessert.  Make this now.  I mean, we are celebrating a very serious holiday, right?
