Summer is the perfect time to try strawberry shortcake recipes. There are so many different ways to make a strawberry shortcake, so I will show you one classic version and one shortcut. Depending on the amount of time you have, either of these will work great.

The classic version I have for you here brings back wonderful memories for me. I remember my grandmother rolling out homemade biscuits. She always had biscuits on hand because she made them every day. We always used the leftover biscuits for strawberry shortcake. She never had to measure anything. For instance, she could make an entire strawberry shortcake recipe from scratch, never looking at a recipe–from the homemade biscuits all the way to the homemade whipped cream!
Classic Homemade Version
Use your favorite biscuit recipe. (Scroll down for links to my favorite biscuit recipes.) If you want a sweeter version of any biscuit recipe, add two tablespoons of sugar to your favorite dough. Often, I make my biscuits the day before, so that they are not hot when you are trying to make a cold strawberry shortcake.
Shortcut Version
If you are not into making biscuits or you don’t have the time, purchase the frozen kind. Please note: You don’t want a “flaky” or “layered”biscuit for this recipe. You want the ones labeled “homestyle.” You could also purchase a pound cake or an angel food cake from your grocery’s deli.
