Yes, craggy is the perfect way to describe them! I started thinking about them when I made the also-craggy lemon blueberry biscuits. Bisquick isn’t part of my life either and although I do use the Better Baking Mix I posted last year, I haven’t made those shortcakes. Some things are best left in the ole memory bank.

Thank you again.

Strawberry shortcake with the Bisquick drop biscuits and big fresh strawberries was such a summer treat in our household.

My mother’s father was a gardener, and the stories of his strawberries (and rhubarb, etc., etc.,) that grew to fist size underneath the Alaska midnight sun always accompanied the Bisquick shortcake with the more modest berries and sugar, topped with whipped cream.

I remember these biscuits because they were simple drop bisquits, all rough and brown on the top, little peaks and valleys which would be sliced off to reveal a soft center; if I were lucky, the strawberries got just a bit to much sugar, creating a too thick syrup with the strawberry juice, and for most children, there is no such thing as too much sugar.

Great entry and recipe. Given that Bisquick isn’t part of my diet, I will save this recipe and make drop biscuits, for memory’s sake.
