Fresh Strawberry Shortcake with Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

• 4 cups sliced, fresh strawberries
• 1/2 cup sugar

For the shortcake:

• 2 1/3 cups Bisquick
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• fresh nutmeg

For the whipped cream:

• 8 oz heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Preheat oven to 450°. Mix strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar. Set aside. Follow directions on the Bisquick box for the shortcake, mixing all ingredients until a soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Box says 6 shortcake but they're HUGE! You could easily get twice that many out of one recipe.

Whip the cream in a chilled bowl at high speed until stiff. Add the sugar and vanilla paste and mix well.

If you know me at all, you know I went in after taking this picture and put an obscene amount of whip cream on top. It's so damn tasty. I may have even licked the plate. And the best news? No one else here will eat it! -gasp- I KNOW! More for me.
