Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or a glass to roll out the dough.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can add a little more flour.
  • If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more milk or water.
  • Bake the shortcake squares until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the shortcake squares warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic dessert that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give strawberry shortcake squares a try!
