Deliciously simple strawberry shortcakes are jazzed up with drop strawberry biscuits, fresh whipped cream and strawberry slices. Perfect for Spring!
Today I’m sharing a brand new BHG Delish Dish recipe: Strawberry Shortcakes! But these aren’t any ordinary shortcakes. They are made with strawberry biscuits. Have you ever had a strawberry biscuit in your strawberry shortcake? I certainly hadn’t.
On a whim (isn’t that the best way to develop recipes?), I decided to add strawberries to my biscuit batter resulting in these sensational strawberry biscuits. I thought it would be nice if I was ensured a juicy bit of strawberry in every single bite of my shortcake. I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone of big mama’s biscuit regime (though quite perfect) and tried a little something new. It was certainly fun to experiment.
I started with BHG’s Strawberry Shortcakes biscuit recipe and added the fun twist, and it paid off and made my shortcakes even more special. I savored every bite while dreaming of warmer weather, beautiful strawberries at the farmer’s market and relaxing walks along the lakefront here in Chicago.
Want to get your shortcake on? Hop on over to BHG Delish Dish and get this fun recipe! It will definitely get you in a Spring kinda mood.
And if you want more Spring shortcake love, check out one of my fave recipes last year: Strawberry tiramisu!
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup cold butter
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ¾ cup chopped strawberries tossed with ½ teaspoon flour

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, the ¼ cup sugar, the baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl combine egg, sour cream, milk and berries. Add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork just until moistened
- Drop dough into 8 mounds onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorites. Last year (since we moved during strawberry time) we didn’t get any strawberries picked. I have since found a strawberry farm close by and will be picking our usual 50 – 80 pounds this year, and then……strawberry this, strawberry that. It will be heaven. Strawberries added to the biscuits WILL be happening this year.
OMG I totally wish I had a strawberry farm near me!!!! So lucky!
I love it when recipe inspiration just strikes without my having to frown over a notebook or cookbooks for hours! This idea is fantastic. What could be better than using biscuits with strawberries inside?
Same here! It feels so organic when it happens like that.
This looks so good! Strawberry shortcake is one of my grandpa’s favorites as well. I like how this has greek yogurt in the biscuits! So ready for spring!
Yeah the greek yogurt lightened them and didn’t sacrifice flavor. Love that!
My boyfriend and I went to a local winery this weekend that has a strawberry champagne. I told him that it would go perfectly with some strawberry shortcake. Strawberry shortcake is one of my all time favorite summer desserts. It’s such a perfect treat on a warm day. 😀
Oh gosh strawberry champagne is just plain delicious isn’t it?
I love strawberry shortcake, and the strawberry biscuits are such a great idea, Jocelyn! 🙂
Thanks so much Marcie!!!
Oh my goodness there is just so much strawberry goodness going on here! I am loooonging for spring. Walks by the lakefront and these shortcakes sound wonderful. Clicking right over to grab the recipe!
All I want is one of these shortcakes with a good cup of tea right now. They look like the perfect afternoon tea treat!
Now that sounds like a plan. I want a cup of tea now.
Great idea baking strawberries into the biscuits… love it! I’m going to be making this a lot when strawberry season starts here!
I seriously can’t wait to eat strawberries everyday!
Strawberry biscuits is something that I have to try. I think it’s a nice idea to add strawberries to biscuits, but I probably wouldn’t wait until dessert to eat them; I’d eat them for breakfast. Great looking recipe.
Yep I can’t even deny how delish these would be for breakfast.
These are fantastic!! Gorgeous photos too!
Thanks so much doll!
This looks totally delicious and so does that Strawberry tiramisu 🙂
Yes I seriously was in love with that tiramisu all last spring!
Oh dreaming of warmer weather is like my main thing right now. I can’t wait! Strawberry shortcake is my favorite. These look GREAT!
