Servings 8 shortcakes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups oil for frying
  • 1 pt strawberries, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 8oz tub Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a deep skillet, pot, or fryer, add the 4 cups of oil and start heating on slightly above medium heat. The oil should be 350 degrees.

  2. Wash and slice the strawberries. Make the homemade whipped cream if you are not using Cool Whip. Prepare the cinnamon and sugar mixture by stirring the two together in a bowl.

  3. Once the oil is at 350 degrees, put 2 to 3 biscuits in the oil. Let them fry for about 2 minutes and then turn. Let them fry for another 2 minutes. If they are really light in color, let them cook on each side for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. You are looking for a dark brown but not burnt. Remove from oil, being very careful to not get burnt slice the biscuits in half. If they are still doughy, put the slices back in the fryer for about 20 more seconds to cook the middle. Once done, coat in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

  4. Continue to cook the remaining biscuits and coat them in cinnamon and sugar.

  5. Assemble the shortcakes by putting one fried biscuit half on a plate, layer with strawberry slices, put about 1/4 whipped cream on the strawberries, and then top with another fried biscuit half.
