Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups All-Purpose Baking Mix, recipe follows
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3/4 cup cranberry juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cranberry juice
- 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen strawberries (you can use fresh if in season)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3/4 cup shortening
Instructions
- For Biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together baking mix, melted butter and cranberry juice in a large bowl, until a soft dough forms. Drop in 4 even mounds onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with sugar and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and cool completely.
- For Strawberry Sauce:
- In a medium bowl whisk together sugar, cornstarch and cranberry juice. In a large skillet combine strawberries with cornstarch mixture. Stir together and bring to a simmer over medium heat making sure to stir often. Turn down heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- For Serving:
- In a large mixing bowl that has been chilled, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar and beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- To serve, cut each cooled shortcake in half horizontally and place bottoms on serving plates. Spoon a few tablespoons of the warm strawberry sauce over each of the shortcake bottoms. Place shortcake tops on fruit. Spoon on a little more strawberry sauce and top with whipped topping.
- In the bowl of a food processor combine flour, baking powder and salt. Pulse for 15 seconds. Add shortening and pulse until mixture is similar in texture to cornmeal. If you do not have a food processor shift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the shortening with a fork or pastry blender until mixture is similar in texture to cornmeal.
- Use in recipes that call for Bisquick or all-purpose baking mix.

Excellent! Used fresh strawberries and just water since didn’t have the cranberry juice….was good!
It was YUMMY especially on this raining evening. I used Apple juice instead of cranberry and 1/2 the amount of sugar
Yummy! We used Bisquick since it was just easier, and fresh strawberries. This is a good dessert for the summer.
I didn’t make the shortcakes, however I was looking for a good strawberry sauce. This sauce is easy to make and it is delicious! I used fresh strawberries and I poured the sauce over a slice of pound cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. SO GOOD! Next time I will try this with other berries.
This was delicious! I made this tonight for my husband who is going through Chemo Therapy and doesn’t want to eat anything. BUT when he heard I was making Strawberry Shortcake and he smelled the strawberries simmering he ask if he could skip dinner and go straight to desert? Off-course I agreed and he practically licked the bowl clean!
Very good.
I just made the sauce from this recipe, and it was quite good. I think it could’ve been better with smaller chunks of strawberries though, but thats an easy fix. Other than that, i might increase the sugar just a tad to offset the strawberry flavor.
my family licked the plate clean i now use the juice for pancakes this is the only way to make strawberry shortcake
I WANT TO TRY THIS RECEIPE TONIGHT FOR SOME FRIENDS.. IS THEIR AN ALTERNETIVE, I GUESS THATS THE WORD I AM LOOKING FOR, FOR THE ALL-PURPOSE BAKING MIX.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RESPOND.. =)
When I made this for my friends one night, i’ve never lived it down. Everyone asks for it again and again. I also served it with vanilla bean ice cream, which added a bonus. I like to use fresh strawberries too!
