Strawberry Shortcake With Balsamic Honey image

Fresh strawberries tossed with balsamic and honey, poured over homemade biscuits and topped with whipped cream. Absolutely decadent! Make sure to have all the ingredients well chilled before beginning. NOTE: I have tested this recipe subbing baking-mix or fridge biscuits, subbing pre-whipped cream, and subbing frozen strawberries. It will work successfully, however the results do not compare to making it 'correctly'.

2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

  • Split the biscuits in half horizontally.
  • Toss the berries with balsamic vinegar and 1/2 of the honey. Set aside.
  • Whip the cream in a small mixing bowl to soft peaks.
  • Add the remaining honey and whip to stiff peaks.

  • Garnish with mint and serve immediately!
