Assembly
Carefully slice the top off each shortcake biscuit. I remove the upper third, leaving a sturdy base.
Top the biscuit with layers of strawberries and whipped cream. I like to start with strawberries so that the juices can get absorbed into the biscuit. Place the biscuit “lid” on top or serve it on the side.
