How to Make Super Sweet Strawberry Shortcake

Hull and slice 1 cup of strawberries into small chunks.
Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the chopped strawberries and gently mash with a fork or potato masher.
Let the mashed strawberries sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
Slice the remaining 1 cup of strawberries into larger, thinner slices.
Add the sliced strawberries to the mashed strawberries along with the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir gently to combine.
Set aside the prepared strawberries.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups Bisquick baking mix, 3/4 cup milk, 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
Mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Press the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch round baking pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven after about 5-6 minutes and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Return to oven and bake for the remaining time.
Once the shortcake is baked and slightly cooled, slice it in half horizontally. Top generously with the prepared strawberries and whipped cream. Enjoy!
