Great recipe for strawberry shortcake

Serious Mealtimes / Debbie Wee

Where I grew up in Central Pennsylvania strawberry shortcake was a big deal. Strawberry festivals are especially popular in the summer months and while these festivities offer a variety of berry-centric treats—jams pies ice cream sundaes—strawberry shortcake almost always steals the show.

For this strawberry shortcake recipe I started by diving into my grandmother’s trusty collection of cookbooks and quickly discovered that today’s strawberry shortcake hasn’t changed much since the days of mid-century cookbooks like Betty Crocker and Better Homes and Gardens: The shortcakes are similar to biscuits but they’re not exactly the same as the tall fluffy version you typically enjoy with gravy. Instead they’re a sweeter cake-like cousin that’s rich and buttery with a crisp crumbly sugary topping. Once baked until golden brown they’re served with a generous helping of sweet berries and thick dollops of whipped cream.
