This looks amazing, but just wondering - can anyone who has made it foresee any challenges with making mini ones? I'd adjust the baking time, of course.

I skipped the sugar on top. Perfect alone but great with fruit. I might make them for Mother's Day brunch! So flaky! LOVE them! I skipped the sugar on top. Perfect alone but great with fruit.

They absolutely made Easter breakfast and everyone loves them! Even though I agree that shortcakes are made for strawberries and cream, I'm happy to report these are also delicious with plain old butter and jam! Thanks!

I love the "Suprise Me" button! These biscuits were not too sweet and were perfectly flaky. I did have to add a little bit of milk to the powder (then a little flour since I added to much milk), but they came out so well. A nice pair with the sweet strawberries! Thanks!

Because I can find trusted recipes for almost anything that I decide to make on a whim. Macaroni and cheese, pb cookies, chocolate cake, curry (yummy red kidney bean curry), tomato soup, potato soup, lentils, all delicious. Thanks for all your hard work. And, because red ripe strawberries from Huelva, Spain are available in 2kg cases in the last week of February in the town where I live, I'll be trying out this shortcake recipe tomorrow. Thanks!

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!

I don't want to go to the store for it. Thanks! LOVE your site!! How do the cakes change if I use 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream? I don’t want to go to the store for it. Thanks! LOVE your site!!

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!
