A Little Nostalgia
Bisquick has been around for generations. Grandmas used it. Moms used it. And honestly, it still holds up today.
Over the years, there have been different versions of shortcake made with Bisquick:
• Rolled and cut like traditional biscuits
• Spread in a pan and sliced into wedges
• Dropped by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet
I prefer the drop method. It is easier and perfect for busy families. No flour clouds all over the counter.

How To Make Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
Step 1 Prep the Strawberries
Wash and slice the strawberries.
Sprinkle half the sugar over them and gently stir. Let them sit while you make the biscuits. They will get juicy and syrupy.
If you want extra saucy strawberries, mash half of them before mixing. It makes a big difference.

Step 2 Make the Dough
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl stir together:
• Melted butter or margarine
• Milk
• Bisquick
• Remaining sugar
Stir just until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix. Sticky is good here.

Step 3 Drop and Bake
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
Keep them about the size of a golf ball. Too big and they may stay doughy in the middle.
Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown on top.
Let cool about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 4 Assemble
Split the warm biscuit in half.
Spoon strawberries over the bottom half. Add whipped cream. Place the top back on and add more strawberries and cream if you like.
Serve while slightly warm for best flavor.
