Red White & Blue Strawberry Shortcake

For the biscuits: Mix together the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter and mix until the dough becomes crumbly. Beat together the egg and the milk. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir till barely blended. Take about 3-4 Tablespoons of the dough and place onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the tops. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

Stem and cut the strawberries into thin slices. Set aside in a bowl.

Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and blue food coloring until stiff peaks form.

Slice the completely cooled biscuits and layer 1-2 Tablespoons of cream with 1/4 cup of sliced strawberries, top with the other half of the biscuit and top off with a dollop of cream.
