Saturday Morning Coffee Talk – Strawberry Shortcake

Good morning, sweet friends! Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee Talk. Hope you have your cup of coffee in hand (tea or Favorite beverage).

Here on Saturday, I talk about random things going on over at White Lilac Farmhouse or little something about myself.

With it being summer time, I cannot get enough strawberries because they are my absolutely favorite.

I am not much of a cake person but love me some homemade cookies. Every year as a little girl, on my birthday in July my great-aunt who owned a local bakery (Walls Bakery) would give me a Strawberry Shortcake. Ever since, Strawberry Shortcake has been by favorite summer dessert.

As soon as summer rolls around, I begin craving Strawberry Shortcake and my husband will start asking for me to make some. I have been making it for my family since 1989.

My Strawberry Shortcake is much different from the ones at the bakery. It is made with a sweet biscuit as the base. Trust me when I say, it is such an easy recipe and you can whip it up in minutes.

The shocker… I make it with Bisquick. They (Bisquick) does have a Strawberry Shortcake recipe but I have my own recipe. I have tweaked it to suit my taste.

I am all about easy recipes. Hope you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think of it.
