I've never seen a recipe like that before, and strawberry shortcakes were the best first time for me! They are amazing! Its winter, and they took me right back to the perfect summers evening! Next time, I want to try using the bisquick. I omitted the orange zest/lemon also, as I am not a big fan, and they still turned out great! Thanks for the great recipe!

They were perfect! Well, the first time I used baking soda instead of baking powder, as the recipe specified. Those went in the garbage. But when I redid the recipe properly, they were perfect, and so impressive. Thank you, Deb!!! I made these last night. They were perfect!

I totally cheat I use bisquick with a bottle of cream soda. I bake my shortcake in a loaf pan - then I just slice the loaf and spoon the berries over the slice and top the berries with fresh whipped cream. It's easier then patting out and cutting out the individual cakes and it is the perfect absorbent slice of heaven for soaking up the juice from the berries.

I was cooking for 8, so I decided to make 1.5x the shortcake dough. But I made this decision after hardboiling only 2 eggs, with no time to boil another. So I took a third egg, separated it, and added it the yolk in with the cream. I then left the dough out in the heat for an hour during transporting, during which time I got really nervous the butter would melt and screw up the texture. When it was finally time to put the biscuits in the oven, I forgot to add the cream and sugar to the top. Then my friends were in a rush at the end, so we skipped cutting the biscuits in half and instead just dumped the whipped cream (slightly-sweetened) and strawberries over the top. It was the best dessert I've ever made, hands down. (Fresh greenmarket berries definitely had something to do with it.) Now I can't WAIT to make it again without all the screwups!
