Strawberry Shortcakes

I dedicate this post to my college roommate, Abby (Martin) Norris. Growing up, my family always just ate the store bought shortcakes so that is all I knew. Then in college, Abby introduced me to Bisquick's Strawberry Shortcakes. Although this is not an original Beasley recipe, it is definitely a keeper! (Note: This recipe can be found on the back of a Bisquick box.)

4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick mix
2/3 cup milk
3 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp butter, melted

Mix strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar; set aside. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
Stir Bisquick, milk, 3 Tbsp sugar and butter until dough forms. Drop by 6 spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes. Top shortcakes with strawberries and a dollop of whipped topping. Or instead of whipped topping, Abby pours a little milk over the shortcakes. I know it sounds weird, but it is good!

Enjoy!
