Awful

The biscuits were salty and dry -- save them for leftover ham. The topping was disgusting -- don't even consider it.
I made the way she demonstrated.

She did not add enough strawburries to give it any real flavor. I hated the biscuits for shortcake.
whip em yourself!!

I found that if you use the old fashioned whipping cream, along with the sour cream it creates a much better taste than would cool whip. I though these were deeeelish! I shared them with a bunch of friends and i got rave reviews!!! just whip your own!!
pretty good

I'd leave the sour cream out next time, because that added a weird flavor and heavy texture. Other than that, I thought it was good. Just make sure to drench those biscuits in the cinnamon sugar!

I agree that this is one of her worst recipes. I plan to try this on chunks of angel food cake -- sans the sour cream (which was awful).
Honestly the worst we've ever tried

We've tried many of Sandra's desserts and found that some are a bit too sweet and artificial tasting, so this one looked good. We had it earlier this evening and it was just plain bad. We rinsed off the berries and ate them with a bit of vanilla yogurt instead.

I am not averse to using canned biscuits for shortcake, but I used the ones specified in the recipe, Pillsbury Grands Southern Style, and they were VERY salty. On the package it says one biscuit has almost 600 mg of sodium! Definitely too salty to use as a dessert.
astonishingly

Unpleasant Topping
07/17/2006 at 02:43pm
User: Anonymous User Rating:
Real sour cream and Cool Whip mixed together made a topping that had a very offputting texture and flavor. Better to use real whipped cream and sour cream, or leave out the sour cream entirely if you are going to use Cool Whip.
The worst dessert recipe we've ever tried

I think it was the sour cream mixed with the Cool Whip. Somewhat off-putting in terms of texture.
EEW!

A friend was emptying out her refrigerator before leaving for vacation, and dumped her canned biscuits on me. I had strawberries on hand, so decided to use the biscuits to make shortcake just to get the tubes out of my fridge. Whoever said biscuits are traditional for shortcake is right, but THESE biscuits are not. I'll stick to my homemade, sweetened biscuits. As for the actual recipe, the point of mixing the sugar and berries ahead of time is not to "allow the flavors to meld," but rather to create extra juice for the shortcake. Did not bother adding sour cream to Cool Whip to make a topping - I buy neither - just quickly whipped up some real cream and sugar.

One of the most wonderful strawberry shortcakes I've tried. I love the depth of flavor and texture the sour cream gave to the topping. And the cinnamon is a great addition.

This shortcake was meant to be the dessert served at last night's canasta party. No one said anything, but most scraped the Cool Whip and strawberries off the biscuit. I ended up throwing away most all of the biscuits. I think the recipe is just fine, but for the canned biscuits.

unsweeted bisquits make strawberry shortcake better IMO
07/13/2006 at 10:34pm
User: Anonymous User Rating:
This shortcake. I've never had better. I didn't realize until now that sweetening your bisquits is sweetener overkill for shortcake. The every so slight benign saltiness of the bisquits actually makes the sweetness of the strawberries and the topping taste that much sweeter tasting. Perfect together!
Made this for my mom and dad

My gramma made her shortcake with homemade biscuits, too. But they were SWEETENED biscuits. Just like homemade shortcake is also a sweetened baked good. This dessert needs to be made with a sweetened biscuit or with another baked good. Apply sugar before baking or buy something else.

Tube biscuits should not be used for this... Bisquick or a flour baking mix is hardly challenging to use and makes a far better fast "shortcake".
This recipe was a huge disappointment

The sour cream mixed with Cool Whip was obnoxious. It tasted awful. And the biscuit was dry and not sweet enough because the sugar would not stick to it. You really need to have a sweeter cake to make this. :-(

Canned biscuits belong on chicken and dumplings. They are not sweet and totally stunk as a "shortbread" substitute. Better to just buy the packaged kind that are displayed next to the berries at the supermarket. Save the canned dough for her delicious bao buns.

I saw Sandra Lee prepare this recipe earlier this week. I thought wow.. how quick, easy & yummy it looked. So, I prepared this for my daughter and I. She loved every bite of it, she even ate half of mine. I thought it was delicious and what a great combination with the cool whip and sour cream! Since it was just for us two, I divided the ingredients in half. This will definately be on my list for brunch the next time I have family and friends over.
Emphasize berries: not topping

User: Charlotte from Plano, TX User Rating:
I notice in the photo online she has strawberries on the bottom biscuit as well as at the top, but on TV there were only a few, on top. It needs two or three times as many berries and half as much topping. Put the berries on top of the biscuits, then the topping. This makes the biscuits better. Then add the topping (don't need sour cream).
A great suprise
