Strawberry Shortcake Royale
Spring must be in the air because last night we enjoyed strawberry shortcake for dessert. I wanted to make the shortcake, but I wanted a different twist on the old favorite. Not that strawberry shortcake ever needs to be improved...I just wanted to try something new. This was elegant and oh-so-yummy!!
Strawberry Shortcake Royale
1 package instant vanilla pudding
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk (can use skim)
2 tablespoons shortening (I used 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-Make pudding according to package directions. Cover and chill.
-Sprinkle strawberries with 1 cup sugar and let stand about 1 hour.
-Heat oven to 350 degrees. Blend remaining ingredients in large mixer bowl on low speed 1/2 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat 4 minutes on medium speed.
-Pour batter into a greased and floured square pan, 8x8x2".
-Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.Cool slightly and cut into squares. Split squares; spoon sweetened strawberries between layers and over top. Pour pudding mixture over all.

I don't know why, but in my search to find a new recipe I pulled out my very old Bisquick cookbooks. Perhaps some of you may recall when Bisquick put a little cookbook in each box of Bisquick. My goal was to get every one of them. I don't know if I accomplished that, but I do have many of them. I was lucky enough to get, somewhere along the line, the notebook that Bisquick put out to corral and store all of those little cookbooks in!
If you are looking for an elegant, easy, low-fat, dessert...look no further. You have stumbled across just that!

How pretty! More recipes, please!!
@sissy, Cooking has been on the back burner so to speak, lol. I have been getting my house ready to sell and then after it sells, the move. So, hopefully I will be doing more cooking...fast food gets old fast.
Nams!
I have to try this one out as soon as possible when first Strawberrys are ready for eat here :P
May I translate some recipies of yours to finnish?
@reaktori, Of course...feel free to translate any. I only ask that if you use the photos, that you upload them to your server and a link to my post that the recipe was found!
Enjoy!!
