Instructions to Prepare Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake from Scratch
These 5 steps will show you how to prepare both the homemade Bisquick baking mix and Bisquick strawberry shortcakes. If you use a commercial baking mix, just skip the first step.
Step 1: Create The Bisquick Baking Mix
In a large bowl, mix well
Add the cold butter cubes and rub them with the flour mixture with your hands until you get crumbs. Your Bisquick baking mix is ready!
Step 2: Make And Bake The Shortcakes
In another large bowl, blend below things to form a soft dough.
Line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone baking mat. Use 2 spoons to divide the dough into equal mounds in the baking tray. Press each mound lightly on top and move to the tray.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-18 minutes or until the shortcakes are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3: Flavor The Strawberries
While you wait for your shortcakes to bake, prepare the strawberries. Chop the strawberries into pieces and put them in a smaller bowl. Cover them with the sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice, then stir and set aside.
Step 4: Prepare The Whipped Cream
Pour the heavy cream and powdered sugar into a large bowl before beating them with a whisk until you get a fluffy cream.
Step 5: Assemble The Bisquick Strawberry Shortcakes
When the shortcakes have cooled thoroughly, place one on a plate and cut off the top. Spread with the whipped cream, put chopped strawberries on top, cream again, and put the top back. Repeat for each shortcake.
Garnish with ground nuts, dried edible flowers, or extra strawberry chops.
Storage Tips for Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake
If you keep the shortcakes, whipped cream, and strawberries apart, the shelf life of each ingredient differs slightly. The homemade shortcakes can stay good for 4 – 5 days if refrigerated or several months if frozen.
Meanwhile, the other two can last for 2 – 3 days in the fridge and 2 – 3 months in the freezer. In the latter case, however, you should expect some flavor loss.
In case you have already added cream and fruits to the shortcakes, my advice is to finish them as soon as possible.
