One of Jack's favorite fruits is strawberries!! And one of my favorite summer time treats is Strawberry Shortcake! So with that said, we are whippin' up a summer time treat that everyone will enjoy and at the same time making it patriotic for July 4th by adding some blueberries!
Yummy Goodness! |
For the Shortbread:
Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix
- Drop Biscuit Recipe (I doubled the batch)
- 1/2 C. Butter or Shortening
- 2/3 C. of Milk and 2 TBSP. of Milk
For the Topping:
- 2 lb. Strawberries
- Blueberries
- 3-4 Tbsps. of Sugar
For the Yumminess:
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Cool Whip
First of all, if you don't have Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix in your pantry - you need to have it! We love the flavor of her pancakes, but you can have this mixture on hand for pancakes, biscuits, banana nut bread, crepes, etc.

Drop Biscuits/Shortbread cooling! |
As you can see above, the drop biscuits are FABULOUS! They are soft, a little bit of sweet, and have a crisp outside so they don't get soggy, but yet softens from the ice cream and strawberry/blueberry topping.
Topping is Ready! |
Now for the Strawberry and Blueberry topping! I know some people, like my mom, like to add milk to their strawberry mixture, but it's really not something that I personally like. I simply start mashing up strawberries, leaving a good amount of chunk pieces because I don't want mush - I want actual pieces of strawberries and add about 2 tsp. of sugar. Then I add blueberries to the mixture. There you have it - topping is ready!
Now all you need is vanilla ice cream and cool whip and start the layering! Shortbread, ice cream, strawberry/blueberry topping, a dollop of cool whip and enjoy!
A delicious refreshing summer treat for everyone! Dig in! :)
Happy 4th of July!
This looks quite tasty! My kids would love it!
