RHUBARB SHORTCAKE

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 medium drop biscuit made from bisquick (still warm from oven)
3 large heaping tablespoons of cool whip or whipped cream
2 - 3 Tbsp rhubarb freezer jam

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh rhubarb. If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • To make sure the shortcakes are light and fluffy, be sure to use cold butter and buttermilk. You can also freeze the butter and buttermilk for 30 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the shortcake batter. Overmixing will make the shortcakes tough.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the shortcakes cool completely before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Serve the shortcakes with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
