AMAZING! This was absolutely wonderful! After reading other reviews, I added a couple of tablespoons more sugar since I like my desserts sweet. I also misread and added the lemon zest to the shortcake batter (I also added some to the whipped cream as directed and that just made this a standout dish. I got all kind of rave reviews from my guests for this, and I have to admit, it was out of this world delicious with ripe strawberries and fresh whipped cream! This definitely goes on my roster of easy yet fabulous signature desserts.

This is an absolutely perfect recipe for a subtly sweet and refreshing dessert. I'm going to try it with a wee bit more sugar next time for the sake of my sweet tooth.

The shortcake recipe is perfect! I cut it in half to prevent left over's (which usually end up in my trash bin. After tasting it, I wish I had made the full recipe. The cake is light, slightly sweet, slightly salty and crispy on the bottom. I baked mine in a clear glass 8" pie shell and it came out perfect. Absolutely will be a go to in the summer with fresh Oregon strawberries!

Hi, I really liked the recipe. I added a spoon and a half more of sugar to the doug and I think I might add a BIT more next time to make it tastier. I also had to add a touch of milk to make the doug easier to put in the pan. It was perfectly cooked and nice. I could have eaten it alone. But I thought that the cake should have sat for a few hours in order to make the whipped cream and the berries get the cake to be more melt in your mouth. I wanted the textures to blend a bit more (maybe because I'm used to spongey cakes. The lemon zest in the frosting was a nice touch and I'll add even more next time.

I ate a slice that was about 6 hours old (sitting in the fridge and it was much better than the one we ate right after putting the cream on top. 4 stars. I'm going to tweak it to make it a 5 star.

The biscuit was bland. Everything else was great.

This is fast, easy and so good! After reading the reviews I also added an extra tablespoon of sugar to the biscuit recipe and it was perfect- it is still subtle and biscuit-y. Also as recommended by other reviewers I put the dough in rustic little round shapes on my cookie sheet. Mine took just 12 minutes to cook. Peek at the bottoms- they should have a golden/light brown appearance.
Years ago I worked at American Festival Cafe next to the ice skating rink at NY's Rockefeller Center- and these are just like those :-

This recipe was super easy and a big hit at my dinner party. I literally whipped this up after work in less than 45 minutes. I did as some others did and dropped spoonfuls of batter onto a cookie sheet, and they turned out delicious. I also mixed some blackberries in with the strawberries for some extra color and flavor. Even my friend who won't eat carbs couldn't resist the temptation of these tasty shortcakes!

I made this, but I thought there were too many strawberries so I only used one pound of them (instead of 1.5 lbs like the recipe calls for and substituted some kiwi instead.
