Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie ...  |
|
 Ok, no Huckleberry Pie, but I did make homemade Strawberry Shortcake last night.
I started off making regular bisquick biscuits, but added a little bit of sugar to the dough, then cut the biscuit with two different size cutters (I used the lid from a peanut butter jar for one, and a drinking glass for the other).
I didn't do them quite as thick as I would have for a regular biscuit, because I put the smaller one on top of the larger, so that it could be pulled apart in between to put the strawberries and cream.
I made homemade whipped cream with heavy cream, sugar and just a smidgen of vanilla, then cut up the strawberries and put them right into the cream. Once the biscuits were done and cool, I took the top piece off, lathered the bottom biscuit with the strawberries and cream, put the top back on and added more strawberries and cream.
They were quite big (as you can tell from the picture) and it was all I could do to finish mine, but oh my, it was soooooo good!
A bit different than the traditional Strawberry Shortcake, but it was wonderful. I have another way that I make a strawberry and blueberry concoction with yellow cake too.
How do you make your Strawberry Shortcake? Did you make a special dessert for the Independence Day holiday?

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 1 year ago |  Oh, your boys will love the treat, I'm sure!
Many years ago I took my two sons to pick strawberries and stopped to pick up supplies for shortcake on the way home.
I was headed for the whipping cream and they took some of the canned topping from the shelf and kept saying I should just buy that and not bother with whipping cream and save myself some trouble.
I insisted that since it was fresh berries that everything else be fresh too, and they couldn't understand why I wouldn't take the easy way out.
Well let me tell you that after I made that shortcake with fresh whipped cream, they told me they would never let me put the 'fake' stuff in the shopping cart again!

kimbers867 (1215) | 1 year ago | I found at Aldi's Shortcake biscuits. They were the size of the grand biscuits. They were good and quick to make. Naturally, I can't find anymore, just glad I bought two cans when I found them.

12. eeyore39 (3181) | 1 year ago | Sounds and looks delicious. I like my Strawberry shortcake made with sponge cake. I have had it several ways but always seem to come back to that one as my favorite. Nothing special for 4th though. Just a relaxing day and remembering what it was all about anyway. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 1 year ago |  I like sponge cake too, but not for shortcake. I think it would be much too rich and sweet with a heavy whipped cream too.
These biscuits with just a bit of added sugar were perfect. Bigger and lighter than a normal biscuit.

eeyore39 (3181) | 1 year ago | Not to sweat at all. Just tends to pick up the juice from the berries and you really have the consistency of the cake and the taste of the berries because of the juice it soaks up.

13. kimbers867 (1215) | 1 year ago | I made a white Pillsbury cake that we added the blue and red sprinkles to the batter, then used white frosting that had red and blue stars and sprinkles. It is so yummy!

14. cwilson26 (1613) | 1 year ago | Sounds yummy! This post made me hungry so I had to make something to eat before I came back to respond. Have you ever heard of Dump cake? My husband's uncle makes it and taught my husband how to make it for us. My hubby is the cook around here! Anyway he went and bought all the stuff he needed the other day, now I'm just waiting on him to make the darn thing! I want to try it.
Apparently you use a cake mix and 2 kinds of canned, or fresh fruits to make it. I couldn't explain it right now because he is taking a nap and I would have to ask him again because I can't remember what he said when he told me the first time. Sounds really good though so now he needs to get off his butt and make it!
I love Strawberry anything and this sounds like something my hubby would love to make! If you get that job at Demand Studios, you can make this into a how-to and make money from it! By the way, just curious if you ever applied to them yet and have they accepted you yet? Just wondering.:)

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 1 year ago |  No, I haven't applied yet. I'm still busy writing at AC. I have just the four published still, but seven more waiting in the hopper.
I've made dump cake before and it is delicious.
I make mine by putting cherry pie filling in the bottom of the cake pan, then adding a yellow cake mix and dot that with butter and bake. Sometimes I add nuts too.
Served with vanilla ice cream is the best!

16. saundyl (4353) | 1 year ago | MMMM strawberry shortcake!
When we make strawberry shortcake its usually a white cake covered with strawberries and whipped cream or ice cream. No special dessert here...nor did we celebrate the Independence day Holiday. The weekend before on July 1st was Canada Day here and we had Strawberries and ice cream with our hamburgers.

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 1 year ago |  Strawberries are good with just about anything, aren't they?
The only thing that would have made this better is if the strawberries were picked fresh outside my window. Next year for sure.

saundyl (4353) | 1 year ago | We've had a lot of strawberries from mom's garden this year. Mine haven't started yet (odd i got them from her plants 2 years ago). This morning she picked 1/3rd of a row and had over a gallon of berries. Her rows are wide enough to fit dads cultivator in i'd say 25 feet long and she has two of them.

17. barbiedollgirl (826) | 1 year ago | Wow! That strawberry shortcake looks so delicious. I am drooling on my keyboard! I never thought about putting my strawberries in with the whipped cream ... that is a great idea! I like making the bisquick bisquits too with sugar. For years I used to buy those spongecake ones. My husband makes his own whipped cream too. Lovely! We didn't have a special dessert ... only cantaloupe and some ice cream.

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 1 year ago |  It really was good mixed up that way. I made the cream pretty thick, so it mixed in well.
I had saved a few strawberries and a bit of cream and there were two biscuits left too, so guess what we had last night?
:)

18. hiccup (6588) | 1 year ago | You got me, and now Im here, I know what strawberry shortcake is, but what is Huckleberry PIE.

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 1 year ago |  I've never had any myself. I believe that the words 'Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie' were the first words in some little childhood ditty, maybe a jumprope song or something.
Did you have a doll/cartoon character named Strawberry Shortcake over there? They made 'friends' of hers too, and one was named Huckleberry Pie, I presume because of the song.

hiccup (6588) | 1 year ago | We had Strawberry Short cake all the little 3 year old girls went mad on her
everything smelt of and tasted of STRAWBERRIES.

hiccup (6588) | 1 year ago | Huckleberry Pie was first released in 1979. There are three regular versions for him. The first is the flat hand first issue, then the curved hand first issue, and finally the second issue with Pupcake. He was made into a vinyl headed rag doll and J. C. Penney's made him into an all cloth rag doll. I found it, its a DOLL, thing for kids/

Ldyjarhead (5170) | 1 year ago |  It really was delicious. I had a bit of cream, strawberries, and two biscuits left so I whipped up the last of it yesterday.
My scale wasn't happy this morning, though!
Hmmm ... dunno about the watermelon thing.
