You just slice however many strawberries as you need, one plastic containerish. Or 2 cups hulled. I mash half and leave the other half sliced. Then pour about 1 cup sugar over them. Just let them sit and they will get syrupy on their own.

Then you cut the biscuits in half when they are cool and you turn them cut side up. Put some berries in the bottom, then a biscuit, then some berries with juice so the biscuit has something to soak up, then some real whipped cream (NOT FROM THE CAN), then a biscuits and strawberries and whipped cream! And, when you eat this, you must eat it for dinner and eat nothing else. |

Originally Posted by firefaery We used to do the biscuit thing too...but we layered sugary strawberries, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream between them! And it WAS dinner-lol! I was going to make this today for dd's birthday. Of course I have to make GF biscuits and dairy free ice cream...not the same thing at all. Ah, well. |
