Bisquick shortcake recipe is one of those nostalgic desserts that has stood the test of time. Whether it’s summer or the holiday season, shortcake always seems to find its way to the table, paired with whipped cream and fruit.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Shortcakes:

  • 2 1/3 cups Bisquick mix – The backbone of this recipe.
  • 3 tablespoons sugar – For a touch of sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup milk – Whole milk works best, but any milk will do.
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted – Adds richness and flavor.

For the Toppings (Optional but Highly Recommended):

  • Whipped cream (freshly whipped or from a can).
  • Fruits like bananas, peaches, mango, or whatever you have on hand.
  • Honey, caramel, chocolate syrup, or maple syrup.
  • Crunchy extras like nuts, granola, or shredded coconut.

Instructions

1: Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 450°F. This high temperature helps the shortcakes bake quickly while developing a golden-brown crust. Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.

2: Mix the Dough

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the Bisquick mix, sugar, and milk. Add the melted butter last, folding it into the mixture until you have a soft dough. The dough might be a bit sticky, but that’s how it should be. Be careful not to overmix; you want the shortcakes to stay light and tender.

 

3: Shape the Shortcakes

Spoon six equal-sized mounds of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. You don’t need to shape them perfectly—rustic shortcakes have charm! Aim for even sizes so they bake at the same rate.

4: Bake

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes. Keep an eye on them toward the end of baking; you’re looking for a light golden-brown color.

5: Cool Slightly

Remove the shortcakes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They’re best served warm, but allowing them to cool slightly makes slicing easier.

Notes

  1. Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough can make your shortcakes dense. Stir just until combined for the best texture.
  2. Serve Warm: Shortcakes are at their best when warm, straight out of the oven. If you’re making them ahead, reheat them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes before serving.
  3. Store Smart: Leftover shortcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat before eating for that fresh-baked feel.
  4. Get Creative: Experiment with different fruits, syrups, and creams to make each batch unique.
