Strawberry Shortcake

My mother made strawberry shortcake for years. I know she used Bisquick though. personally I love Bisquick but I wanted to make my own homemade shortcakes, and I detest angel food cake so it was really developing a sweet biscuit recipe. Easy and delicious. Great Easy dessert for warm summer nights!
