I had this shortcake on my list for quite sometime. It has a few steps to it, but is still pretty simple. Strawberries are in season now and is a perfect time to make these beauties. The crunch from the biscuits, the richness from the cream and the sweetness of the strawberries all work perfectly in this recipe. Assemble these when you are ready to eat as they tend to become soggy. Off to the recipe.
