CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

These classic strawberry shortcakes are simple yet sweet dessert perfect for strawberry season. They are made with homemade biscuits, freshly whipped cream and juicy strawberries.

The kids were able to help with each and every step. They loved getting involved (they always do) and of course, tasting the fruit of their labors. Which we did quite literally with this recipe. ☺ We started by making the biscuits. Unlike traditional dinner biscuits, these are slightly sweet and made with cream instead of buttermilk. They taste more like a fluffy, flaky scone. The recipe is pretty straightforward. Mix up the dry ingredients, cut in the butter and then stir in the cream. Onc

Who doesn’t love a made-from-scratch, comforting, homestyle breakfast? Especially on the weekends! This waffle recipe will give you all the more reason to look forward to lazy Saturday mornings.

They have a rich delicious flavor (thanks to the buttermilk), they’re perfectly soft and tender inside with a nice moisture to them, and you’ll love that deliciously crisp, pretty exterior. Ingredients in Belgian Waffle Mix These Belgian waffles use ingredients you already have on hand, making this an easy weekend treat! All-purpose flour  – this will give the waffles structure. I don’t recommend substituting another type of flour. Cornstarch
