I've tried making strawberry shortcakes several times, but I've never been able to get them right. I think I'll just give up and buy them from the store.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my strawberry shortcakes were a disaster. The biscuits were flat and the strawberries were mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my strawberry shortcakes didn't turn out very well. The biscuits were dry and the strawberries were sour.

These strawberry shortcakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can use any type of berry you like, and you can even add a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
