I have fond memories of my mom making strawberry shortcake like that. She used Bisquick for the shortcakes but I swear they just don’t taste the same when I make them. Could be they changed the ingredients in the mix.
We get great strawberries and sweet corn here in Tampa but I am having a real problem finding any good peaches so far this year. Got a few from Trader Joes at 89 cents A PIECE!, but they were awful. Those from California weren’t any better. I really miss Carolina peaches! They’re my favorite fruit, too.
You can try Harry and David. All their fruit is fabulous, but they’re higher than a cat’s back.
The shortening in the bisquik years ago was different. Just make it from scratch with either self-rising flour and heavy cream, or self rising flour, shortening or butter, and milk. Easy leash. Tastes better than biscuit, too.
