Strawberry Shortcake Muffins

On Make Your Own Pizza night, our lovely guests insisted on bringing dessert (which is part of what made them lovely). But, instead of just bringing something, they brought the ingredients to make something: Strawberry Shortcake. *swoons*

They got started as soon as they settled in. Apparently, on the back of Bisquick boxes there’s a recipe for the shortcake part of the Strawberry Shortcake. We modified the recipe slightly to make the shortcake into muffins. Here it is!

strawberry shortcake muffins!

Ingredients

• 2 1/3 cups Bisquick mix
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons softened butter
• 1 package of strawberries/blueberries (really as much as you want of these)
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• Whipped cream (or you can make your own)

First wash the strawberries and cut into quarters. We used a mix of strawberries and blueberries. Add the sugar and mix so all the berries are evenly covered. Put this in the fridge to chill and to soak up the sugar.

soak it up.

On to the shortcake. This part is super easy. Mix all the ingredients together. It should be the consistency of cake batter, not too sticky. You should be able to spoon it into the muffin cups. Spray a muffin pan (12 muffins) with nonstick spray and fill each cup about 2/3 of the way. Bake on 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. They’re done when you touch the top and they spring back, or if you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool, then cut in half. Add the fruit on top of the bottom half, put the top of the muffin on, then add more fruit and the whipped cream.

... add the berries and whipped cream!

The presentation is great, and this can be a fun way to get everyone to play with their food. This can get a little messy to eat, but it’s so yummy! Thanks to K & B for coming over and making these for us!
