Light and airy, these biscuits are cake-like when they’re topped with cream and sugar, and then stuffed with bright peaches, blueberries, and pillows of whipped cream.
Why Try? As a great “shortcake shortcut,” use prepared biscuits from the refrigerated section and then top them with cream and sugar before baking to turn them into quick shortcakes.
