Strawberry Shortcake with Honey Whipped Cream
Tips for success: You can use whatever milk you have in the fridge for this recipe. I use shortening it produces a more tender shortcake than when it’s made with butter. The secret to a fast and great whipped cream is placing the bowl and beaters in the freezer (my preference) or fridge 15 minutes before making it. You can store the extra in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days.
