Simply Delicious Strawberry Swirl Shortcakes


Got 20 minutes and a box of Bisquick? Whip these babies up and impress everyone! (shhhh, don't let it slip how ridiculously easy these are!)
Strawberry Swirl Shortcakes
16 oz strawberries, washed and sliced
5 TBSP sugar
2 tsp grated lemon peel (optional)
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup plus 1 TBSP milk
whipping cream for topping
Heat oven to 450. Stir strawberries and 2 TBSP sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
In a second small bowl, combine lemon peel and 3 TBSP sugar; set aside.
In large bowl, stir together Bisquick and 2/3 cup milk until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a well-floured surface. Roll to an 18 x 8-inch rectangle, about 1/4" thick. Brush with remaining 1 T milk, then sprinkle with lemon-sugar (or plain sugar, if omitting lemon peel). Roll up, starting at short end. Cut into 8 slices. Place slices on a baking sheet that has been sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Flatten slices slightly. Bake for 10 minutes, until lightly golden-brown.
When cool to touch, slice biscuits in half horizontally. Place biscuit bottom on plate and spoon a scant 1/4 cup strawberries over top; dollop with whipped cream. Cover with biscuit top, add more whipped cream and strawberries to garnish.
