Day 83-- Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake recipe


Prologue:

An article came out a few days ago that an hour of watching television takes off 22 minutes of your life.  It can also buy you a box of Bisquick.

I can honestly say that I've never had strawberry shortcake before last night and I'm really surprised that I haven't.  It's ridiculously easy.  Thanks to a Bisquick commercial, some milk, and two spoonfuls of sugar (plus strawberries and cool-whip) we had a delicious post-bar treat. 

Bisquick Strawberry Short Cakes 

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10-13 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup Bisquick
2+1 teaspoons of sugar
1/3 cup milk

Directions:

1.) Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  Mix together the Bisquick, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and milk together.  On a cookie sheet drop the mix into 4 pastry clusters, like you would making biscuits.  They'll be slightly golden brown when done--try not to burn the bottoms.

2.) While your pastry clusters bake, slice about a cup of strawberries into small pieces and drizzle the remaining 1 teaspoon on sugar on top of  the pieces.

3.) Take out small bowls (I used my dipping bowls) and put a pastry cluster into each bowl.  Break them with a spoon, and add some strawberries. Mix them around a little so that each bite will have a little bit of cluster, a little bit of strawberries. Top all of the bowls with a big scoop of cool whip.  Done!

Review:

Simple and sweet.  It the right portion size of a bit of pastry and strawberries with enough sweet from the sugar and cool whip to make it a non-heavy dessert.  It'd recommend it as a late summer snack to enjoy with friends.
