We always relish the peak of strawberry season: the ruby-red fruit are a joy to eat and give a striking splash of color to summer desserts.
Crumbly shortcake is a classic backdrop for the berries, and we're excited to try this simple recipe, a rolled-and-shaped version from James Peterson's Baking. Use a biscuit cutter that's sharp and slices the dough cleanly. Forcing a dull cutter through the pastry will drag down the edges of your biscuits, compacting the dough and hindering it from rising in the oven.
