This recipe for Sweet Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake is a real family favourite around here. I cannot count the \u00a0number of times we make this dessert, especially in the summer time when fresh local strawberries are at their peak.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit of a tradition that, when we took the kids to Lester\u2019s Farm U-pick Strawberry Fields<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>each year, this would always be the first thing they would want to make when they got home. They never got much of an argument out of me and if my much older teenagers are up for it this year, we\u2019ll do it all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n

I first had this version of strawberry shortcake in a small cafe in Amherst, Nova Scotia about 30 years ago or more, when I was on a road trip vacation with some friends. I still remember the simple perfection of that delicious combination of fresh biscuit, strawberries and cream. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been making them ever since then and have since seen them made this way\u00a0in many places throughout Canada and the US. I must have led a very sheltered early life!<\/span><\/p>\n

My favourite biscuits to use for this recipe is a sweet biscuit version<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, with a little crunch from turbinado sugar sprinkled on top before baking. When fresh baked, I think they are the perfect balance between having crispy edges and a nice soft interior.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just strawberries we use to make these delectable shortcakes.\u00a0We use whatever fresh fruit or berries are in season to make these delicious, easy desserts; peaches, nectaries, plums, cherries, blackberries, raspberries\u2026whatever you like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake, a\u00a0summer dessert favourite.<\/span><\/h3>\n

We must make them a dozen times or more during the summer and it\u2019s one of our favourite desserts to serve at the end of a barbecue with family and friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our family\u00a0also pack these up for picnics and cookouts too. We carry along the biscuits, whipped cream and macerated strawberries in sealed bowls in our cooler, then assemble the dessert on site. It\u2019s always a hit!<\/span><\/p>\n

Take them along on your next summer picnic. It won\u2019t be the last time you do!<\/span><\/p>\n
