Ingredients
Strawberries
- 2 1/2 lbs fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Biscuits
- 2⅓ cups Bisquick Baking Mix
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 large egg, beaten
Optional
- Ice cream or whipped cream
- fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Slice strawberries and place them a medium bowl. Use a potato masher to mash strawberries slightly (you want some mashed and some to remain intact). Add powdered sugar and mix. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment, or spray pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together Bisquick, buttermilk, sugar, orange juice, and zest until combined. Drop batter in 1/3 cup scoops about 2-inches apart onto pan. Mix egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush on dough. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- To assemble: Using a knife, split warm shortcakes. Fill with strawberries and top with ice cream or whipped cream and more strawberries.
Notes
- If you want to store this strawberry shortcake for later, you'll want to make sure you store everything separately. Don't store them assembles or you will end up with a soggy mess.
- Store the strawberries in one airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. Then you'll place your shortcake in an airtight container or ziptop bag and place them on the counter. Don't store them in the refrigerator as they will get dried out.
- Once ready to enjoy, just assemble according to the direction in the recipe card below. For best results, I suggest consuming within 2-3 days as the drop biscuits do not stay fresh long.
