This shortcake is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, but it's always a crowd-pleaser. The biscuits are light and fluffy, and the strawberries are perfectly sweet and tart. I love serving this with a dollop of whipped cream.

I'm not a fan of strawberries, so I wasn't sure if I would like this shortcake. But I was pleasantly surprised! The biscuits were so good that I didn't even miss the strawberries.

This shortcake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The biscuits in this shortcake were a bit dry. I think I would have added a little more butter to the dough.

This shortcake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred using less sugar in the strawberries.

I'm not a huge fan of strawberries, but I loved this shortcake! The biscuits were so good that I could have eaten them on their own. I'll definitely be making this again, but next time I'll use a different fruit.
