June 14: Indulge Your Sweet Tooth - It's National Strawberry Shortcake Day!

When strawberries are in season, one of the best desserts to try is sprinkling slices of the fruit over some biscuit, along with a generous dollop of whipped cream. The biscuit base is also quite easy to make, as all you need is some fresh cream and butter.

To ensure that the strawberries reach the right consistency, it's important to combine them with some sugar well in advance of serving, as this allows juice to be released from the fruit that'll add to the sweetness of the unleavened cake. About an hour should do, especially if you mash them together halfway through.

Make sure you inject a bit of creativity into your recipe to celebrate this food holiday! Why not add some vanilla extract, or try a medley of berries for a change?
