Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake has been around forever. Seriously, who doesn't like buttermilk biscuits sweet plump strawberries and homemade whipped cream. This dessert recipe is very easy and quick . You can make your own buttermilk biscuits, as we do at elegant affairs, but in consideration for all of those busy moms that simply don't have the time or patience, I suggest you buy the pop in the oven kind ( pilsbury biscuits). I will insist ,however, that you make your own whipped cream. Cool Whip just won't cut it. You can give each person a biscuit once completed or serve it up "elegant affairs "style. Once we assemble the dessert, we simple take out a small cookie cutter and create strawberry shortcake minis. The choice is yours....Allow me to inspire you create this delectable dessert for your friends and family. Good Luck !!!!!!
