Reviews
I liked the addition of eggs to the standard recipe. I would add vanilla next time or lemon juice.
My family has been making theses for years! I’m 65 & my Dad used to make them for us! He just hated those yellow sponge cakes & said if you were going to eat Strawberry Short Cake, this was the only way to go! & I have to agree! I love them too & it’s the only way I make short bread biscuits! Thank you for the great memory ❤️
2.7.22 I wanted the biscuit to fit a specific dessert dish, so I made the mounds smaller, and ended up with 10 instead of 6. That size satisfied us for dessert, and as a bonus, we saved some calories, carbs, and fat. Took out of the oven exactly at 10 minutes, and they baked up tender and golden brown. This is the way shortcake should be served, not on those spongy shortcakes at the supermarket. It’s strawberry season in Florida right now, so the remaining biscuits will head into the freezer for another strawberry shortcake very soon. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
