Strawberry Shortcakes with Polenta Lemon Biscuits

June 24, 2018 by Joseph Sciascia Leave a Comment

When you daydream about summer what is the first thing that comes to mind? Strawberry shortcake, duh! Lol…My recipe for these delicious shortcakes are Italian inspired and get a surprise crunch from the polenta and the tangy tartness from lemon. What makes this recipe really easy is the Bisquick mix, I don’t use it that often but it’s a great shortcut for this great summertime treat.  When you are pressed for time and you have a ton of strawberries that you don’t know what to do with and you have people screaming at you for shortcake instead of ice-cream this recipe is a sure thing.  I served this last night for an Italian themed dinner menu as part of a dessert “sampler” plate among a small glass of chocolate gelato with chocolate chip cookie crumbs and a lemon square…believe me, the party guests did not walk away hungry, they rolled away full, like Veronica Blueberry!

 

Here is a photo of the dessert “sampler” plate that I served the shortcakes on last night
