These are really fun to make when my kids have friends over. They each can have their own individual snack and that’s a special treat. I like to think that my kid’s friends, along with my own children feel welcome at my house, and at this age, a nice and tasty dessert like this one can do just that. This is always a huge hit among the kids and the adults alike. I always have to sneak some to the side so that my husband can have some when he gets home.

Short, sweet, and to the point… just like this yummy dessert!
Ingredients
1/4 cup Land O’ Lakes butter
2 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup white sugar, plus more for topping
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, plus more for brushing
4 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/2 cup Domino white sugar
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon white sugar
3 drops vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt butter over medium heat in small saucepan. Stir continually, letting foam dissipate, just until butter begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk together self-rising flour and 1/4 cup white sugar in a bowl. Add milk, 1/4 cup cream, and toasted butter. Mix just until ingredients come together. Wad up dough and transfer to floured surface. Press or roll dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into 3 portions. Place shortcake pieces on prepared baking sheet. Brush with cream; sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in preheated oven until gold brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer shortcakes to a rack to cool completely.
Sprinkle sliced strawberries with sugar; stir until sugar begins to dissolve. Refrigerate until juice from berries is extracted, about 1 hour.
Whip 3/4 cup cream with 1 tablespoon sugar and a few drops of vanilla in bowl with an electric mixer.
Split biscuit in half. Place bottom half in a bowl. Spoon strawberries and juice over shortbread half. Top with shortbread top and spoon on more strawberries and juice over the shortbread. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream.
