Strawberry Shortcake made with fresh strawberries and Buttermilk Scones topped with Whipped Cream.

Celebrating Sunshine – Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake, at its seasonal best, starts with beautifully ripe berries freshly cut and macerated. Layer these on shortcake still slightly warm from the oven.
