This is one of my favorite recipes to make during strawberry season. Since I like to freeze the sliced strawberries too, it is something my family can enjoy all year!
The shortcake is a more traditional and less sweet short cake that can be baked in a pan or dropped onto a cookie sheet to make individual cakes.

[…] I like to buy a “flat” of strawberries at a time. Depending on how much extra time I have during the season, I may buy multiple flats, but I ALWAYS have to get at least one. If you are unable to do something with your strawberries right away, make sure to not wash them and refrigerate them right away to prolong their peak flavor. Each flat of strawberries I buy gets divided into berries to eat right away and berries to preserve. I go through the whole flat, removing the stems and then dividing them into 2 colanders – 1 for “perfect” berries and one for any berries that are over-ripe, under-ripe, or funny shaped. I want non-perfect bowl to contain many more berries than the perfect bowl as those will get made into jam and frozen topping for us to enjoy all year long. The perfect bowl never lasts long and it is the one that the kids get to eat right out of and gets served along with dinner that evening and made into Strawberry Shortcake (click for recipe). […]
