While we are fond of classic biscuit-style recipes – and we have those for you, of course, and we also have some more creative versions for you!

Strawberry Shortcakes with Easy Buttermilk Drop Biscuits

The biscuits that my grandmother made were wonderful, but took a special touch, plus rolling and cutting perfect circles.

Grilled Strawberry Shortcake Kebabs

I’m not one to reinvent the wheel for the sake of it. So I promise you that this dessert is more than just a skewered novelty (although it is super fun to make and eat!). But beyond the stick, I guarantee this dessert is special.

You see, when you submit strawberries to high heat, they char and soften into soft, jammy stickiness. Then you offer buttery, flaky biscuits some golden grill marks and the kiss of a smoky flame.  Add a rosy (no-cook) strawberry sauce for juicy freshness, then top it all off with a cloud of vanilla whipped cream. Get the recipe.
