Strawberry Shortcakes

 

It is currently strawberry season in Indiana, and I'm reaping the benefits. I picked some fresh berries at our local Market and my employer- the Bloomington Community Farmers' Market. What's more appropriate than strawberry shortcakes? 

Strawberry Shortcakes:
Serves 4

• 4 baked biscuits (plus sugar)
• 1 pint strawberries
• 1 T sugar
• Whipped cream

Bake biscuits according to your favorite recipe, sprinkling with sugar before baking. Cool completely. Hull and slice berries, sprinkling with a tablespoon of sugar. Stir and let berries sit for 10 minutes. Split biscuits, spoon over berries and juice, and top with whipped cream. Enjoy this fabulous early summer dessert!
