How to Make Shortcut Strawberry Shortcakes

  1. Wash and slice 2 cups of strawberries. Sweeten with 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste).
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  5. In a separate shallow dish, place 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  6. Separate 8 refrigerated biscuits. Gently pull each biscuit apart into two halves, creating 16 biscuit halves.
  7. Dip each biscuit half into the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Roll the buttered biscuit halves in the sugar, coating both sides.
  9. Place each sugared biscuit half back together to form a whole biscuit. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Do not overbake.
  11. Let the shortcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. To serve, gently pull the biscuit halves apart. Fill the bottom half with sliced strawberries. Top with the other biscuit half and a dollop of whipped cream (approximately 1/4 cup per shortcake).
