Maybe I did something wrong. The shortcake is more like a dry biscuit. (Although I didn't add the sheen) the "candied" berries on the dry bisquit wasn't a good match. Noone touched these :-( HOWEVER! the "shortcake" recipe is a good and easy recipe for biscuits! ....

Yum!! I followed the recipe except didn't have half & half, so used 1% milk and it was fine. I also sprayed the baking pan with a small amount of non-stick spray. Instead of cutting them in half, we just crumbled it. Easy and tasty!

as written this was great. easy to make, grated butter worked very well. this tasted more like biscuits we like more of a shortcake. will not be making this for shortcake, but hoping to figure out something to use this with as the flavor was great

Reminds me of the shortcakes that my mom used to make, only a bit better. HOWEVER, I have come to prefer a homemade angelfood cake or etc. They are more fussy, but if I don't have time for them, I'd rather just have strawberries and a touch of whipped cream with a cookie........... But that's just me. If I hadn't been served strawberries with light and airy cakes several times of late, I don't think I could have been swayed..... I did enjoy my mother's strawberry shortcakes through the years, but who knew? now I'm converted....... Thanks for a nice shortcake to help me come to my conclusion though........ If my mom comes through when we have a lot of berries, I might make this recipe just for her........ I'm sure she'd love it, and it's certainly not bad eatin' - I've just been nudged in another direction of late.

Yum! Just made these and they came out great! I made them slightly smaller and got about 8 out of each batch (doubled the recipe so I could take these to a party). I watched them closely while cooking to make sure that they didn't overcook. I mixed some chopped spearmint leaves in with the whipped cream. Wonderful!

Easy and delicious!! I had to keep the husband and kids away until desert! I formed it into one round and cut into 8 pie peices then separated on a cookie sheet and baked.

Absolutely loved the shortcake!! I didn't go all out with the berry combo, but just used a simple strawberry in sugar to top. Shared with a friend and her two little picky eaters - they all gave big thumbs up and smiles.

Very easy to make, tasted great, the only reason it got 4/5 stars was because the cake part was very crumbly, made it a bit difficult to both cut and eat. Other than that, it was very good!

I made the shortcake only. I followed the recipe up to the roll out part. I rolled it out between two sheets of waxed paper to the thickness I wanted, then flipped the circle onto a piece of parchment on a cookie sheet. I cut the circle into manageable pieces, sprinkled with turbinado sugar and baked according to directions. Delish! BTW shredding the butter is a great idea. I always have frozen butter in the freezer. I'd rather do that then cut with a pastry cutter.
