Is there anything that tastes MORE like the sweetness of summer than Strawberry Shortcake? I don't think so. 

These are our family recipe that Lex has been enjoying for her entire life, and her family for generations. 

1 package gets you 8 large shortcakes, 16 small, and over 90 tiny sample-sized shortcakes (no one makes them that size but Lex, but those are the ones in the photo with the package so you know.) 

Ingredients

• 1 package Shortcake Mix (375g)
• ½ c of butter or shortening - cold
• 1 c of milk
• 1 Egg

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°
• Put mix into a large mixing bowl.
• Grate butter/shortening into the bowl & stir.
• Add egg and milk
• Mix gently until everything is combined to a smooth dough.
• Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.(16 small or 8 large)
• OPTIONAL - sprinkle top with sugar
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
• Let cool.

Serve split open, filled with strawberries and whip cream or ice cream, or both!

Shortcake is also fantastic with any kind of berry or fruit!  

We love seeing what you made.
