Strawberries and a couple shortcakes

Here's just what you need to bring that warm summer evening to a close. Strawberry shortcakes!

Our version of this classic dessert is based on a substantial biscuit with a hefty crust and a dense but soft interior. It's the perfect foundation for home-made strawberry frozen custard, fresh strawberries, and freshly whipped cream - a triple play that'll bring smiles every time.

The key is to keep is fresh - these strawberries came straight from our garden and the cakes are served hot out of the oven.

In case you're not convinced yet, here's a couple more shortcakes to win you over.
