Sugar

Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, slice the strawberries and mix them with 1/4 cup of sugar. Let them sit for about 15-30 minutes to allow the juices to release. This will enhance their flavor and create a delicious syrup.
2
In a separate large bowl, combine 1 cup of Bisquick mix, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/3 cup of milk. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep the shortcake light and fluffy.
3
Scoop the batter onto a greased cookie sheet, forming four equal-sized mounds.
4
Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
5
Remove the shortcakes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, slice each cake in half horizontally.
6
Assemble the shortcakes by spooning the macerated strawberries between the halves of each shortcake. Drizzle some of the strawberry syrup over the fruit and then top generously with whipped cream.
7
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
