    Sweet Strawberry Biscuits with Macerated Strawberries and Rhubarb Compote {Strawberry Shortcake}

    Sweet strawberry shortcake starts with tender biscuits, infused with fresh strawberry puree. The addition of rhubarb compote gives this dessert a wonderful tart-sweet flavor.

    Sweet Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits

    I'm not as skilled a baker as I would like, so when I decided to create a new recipe for sweet strawberry shortcake, I was feeling a little apprehensive. Despite my worries, I forged ahead hoping my shortcake biscuits would marry well with the addition of strawberry purée. 

    The recipe creation proved one of the best experiments I've ever attempted. With a few measurement adjustments of flour vs liquid, the sweet flesh of the berries blended into the batter before baking worked perfectly.

    I substituted heavy cream instead of milk or half and half and added a few tablespoons of the strawberry liquid/syrup to the batter. 

    I went a step further with my new recipe by adding a hot rhubarb compote.

    The combination of sweet tart rhubarb, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream blends perfectly with the tender strawberry shortcake biscuits.

    Sweet Strawberry Shortcake made with rhubarb compote for a sweet-tart flavor.

    The sweet strawberry shortcake biscuits would be delicious for breakfast or brunch, served with jelly or lemon curd. Or even better, serve them for High Tea slathered in Devonshire cream.
