For an extra touch of flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a grating of lemon zest to the whipped cream. If you don't have baking mix on hand, you can make your own by combining flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening. There are many recipes available online. Feel free to substitute other berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, for the strawberries. For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the shortcakes with melted butter before baking. These are best served immediately, but leftover shortcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Store the strawberries and whipped cream separately in the refrigerator.

07 Step

Spoon a generous portion of the macerated strawberries and their luscious juices over the bottom half of each shortcake. Top with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and the other half of the shortcake. Serve immediately and enjoy!
