Alone, they exude a refreshing sweetness, but when tossed with a little sugar and orange juice, they soften, sweeten and shine. You won\u2019t believe how stunning those macerated berries can be when spooned into a homemade biscuit that\u2019s filled with fluffy whipped cream. These dreamy strawberry shortcake biscuits are perfect for a summer afternoon.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> This type of flour makes tender, chewy biscuits. They\u2019re a bit crispy on the outside, too, but not so thick and hearty that they&#8217;re like a bread crust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar lightly sweetens the biscuits without making them as sugary as a dessert. You\u2019ll want to reserve 1 tablespoon sugar to macerate the strawberries too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder:<\/strong> An entire tablespoon of baking powder fluffs up the biscuits. Since there\u2019s so much in this strawberry shortcake biscuit recipe, it\u2019s worth checking the expiry date and maybe even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">testing the baking powder<\/a> for potency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> The secret to flaky biscuits is to keep the butter cold. Pieces of cold butter create steam pockets as they melt, lofting the dough layers. Not sure which brand of butter to buy?

Bananas and stone fruits such as peaches and nectarines also make divine fillers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add pistachio butter or Nutella:<\/strong> In place of, or in addition to, the whipped cream, smear 1 to 2 tablespoons pistachio butter or Nutella on one side of the biscuit, then add the whipped cream and strawberries. Either of these spreads create a rich, nutty flavor, with pistachio butter leaning more earthy and Nutella leaning more chocolaty.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pile in the pie filling:<\/strong> If the strawberries are too old or the fruit at the store is looking a little sad, pie filling in the flavor of your choice works in a pinch. Keep in mind that pie filling is sweeter than fresh berries, so no need to add the sugar or orange juice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavor the whipped cream:<\/strong> An easy way to create even more flavor is through the whipped cream. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hazelnut-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hazelnut-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Hazelnut whipped cream<\/a> would go beautifully with the strawberries, and the mint, lime and rum flavor trio of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mojito-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mojito-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mojito whipped cream<\/a> would add a touch of the tropics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits<\/h2>\n<p>Assembled leftovers won\u2019t hold very well, as the whipped cream will deflate and become runny, making your biscuits super soggy. If you <em>must <\/em>save your leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Try to assemble only the amount of biscuit strawberry shortcake you know will be eaten immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze strawberry shortcake biscuits?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze unassembled biscuits for up to three months. Once the biscuits are out of the oven, let them cool completely to room temperature, then either place them in an airtight container or resealable bag. To thaw, place them in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Shortcake Biscuit Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2118959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/TOHcom26_10622_MD_P2_01_30_3b_Strawberry-Shortcake-Biscuits.png?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the difference between shortcake and biscuits?<\/h3>\n<p>A shortcake is like a sweeter biscuit. Biscuits can be used in sweet or savory applications, but shortcakes are reserved for sweet dishes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shortcake<\/em> is derived from an old English version of the word &#8220;short&#8221; but was not meant to imply a diminutive pastry. Back then, &#8220;short&#8221; referred to a baked good that was made crisp with the addition of fat, traditionally butter or lard. Shortcake, as we know it today, is a crisp, crumbly cake usually made with butter, although some recipes may call for shortening. Its crispy exterior and soft, flaky interior have a texture similar to traditional biscuits and scones, but shortcakes are made with a little more sugar and are, therefore, sweeter.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use something other than homemade biscuits to make strawberry shortcake biscuits?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can forgo the homemade biscuits for another bready base. If you need to whip up dessert in a hurry, rely on a convenient store-bought biscuit\/baking mix, such as Bisquick, and follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for baking. A large tube (16.3 ounce) of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-store-bought-biscuits\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-store-bought-biscuits\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best store-bought biscuits<\/a> will yield equally good results. If all else fails, slices of premade pound cake or angel food cake work too.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?<\/h3>\n<p>We love fresh berries, but if you\u2019re pressed for time or the berries are starting to look moldy or shriveled (fresh strawberries have a short seasonal window), pick up a 16-ounce bag of frozen, sweetened, sliced strawberries.\u202fAllow them to thaw, drain the excess liquid, then assemble them into the strawberry shortcake biscuit recipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our strawberry shortcake biscuits are worth turning

Back then, \"short\" referred a baked good that was made crisp with the addition of fat, traditionally butter or lard. Shortcake, as we know it today, is a crisp, crumbly cake usually made with butter, although some recipes may call for shortening. Its crispy exterior and soft, flaky interior have a texture similar to traditional biscuits and scones. \r\n\r\n<h3>Does my butter have to be cold?<\/h3> \r\nYes! The secret to flaky biscuits is to keep the butter cold. Pieces of cold butter create steam pockets as they melt, lofting the dough layers. Not sure which brand of butter to buy? Here are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-butter-taste-test\/\">best butter brands<\/a>, according to our Test Kitchen.\r\n<h3>What other fillings or flavors can I add to this recipe?<\/h3>\r\nThere are so many possibilities! While strawberries are the most popular, you can easily switch up the flavors with raspberries, blueberries, cranberries or blackberries. Bananas and stone fruits such as peaches and nectarines also make divine fillers. Try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mixed-fruit-shortcakes\/\">Mixed Fruit Shortcakes<\/a> for a delicious blend of several kinds of fruit.\r\nKeep in mind that most fruit fillings require mixing with granulated sugar to macerate\u2014which draws out the fruit\u2019s juices, so it become soft, sweet and saucy\u2014and sometimes a splash of lemon or orange juice. We recommend seeking out a specific filling recipe if needed.\r\n\r\nFor a chocolate twist, add a dollop of hazelnut spread to the bottom of the biscuits or mix in a few drops of chocolate syrup with your whipped cream.\r\n\r\n<h3>What shortcuts can I use for this easy shortcake recipe?<\/h3>\r\nIf you need to whip up dessert in a hurry, rely on a convenient store-bought biscuit\/baking mix, such as Bisquick, and follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for baking. A large tube (16.3 oz.) of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits will yield equally good results. If all else fails, slices of pre-made pound cake or angel food cake work, too. \r\n\r\nWe love fresh berries, but if you\u2019re pressed for time or the berries are starting to look moldy or shriveled (fresh strawberries, in particular, have a short seasonal window), pick up a 16 oz. container of frozen sweetened sliced strawberries. Pie filling in the flavor of your choice will also work in a pinch.\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s nothing like the soft, billowy peaks of freshly whipped cream, but if time isn\u2019t on your side, store-bought whipped topping works fine, too.\r\n\r\n\u2014<i>Amy Glander, Taste Recipes Books Editor, contributed to this article<\/i>","Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":"This strawberry shortcake is the perfect ending to any meal.
