7 Strawberry shortcake
As the weather heats up, strawberries come back into season, and what better way to eat them than in a classic strawberry shortcake? A traditional strawberry shortcake is made with fluffy biscuits (the American kind, not shortbread and digestives as we know biscuits to be), and it’s easier than you think to make from scratch.
For this recipe, we’ve been able to cut the butter into the dry ingredients without a pastry cutter or food processor, our alternative being a fork and a lot of patience, and if you can’t find buttermilk, heavy cream from the box works too. The strawberries don’t need any work except coating with sugar to let its juices flow, and you can also skip making whipped cream by getting a can of ready-made whip.
