Notes
Shortcut: Bisquick.
Variants: 1. Double the recipe and bake in a 9x13 baking pan. 2. Use your choice of fruit, blueberries as well as peaches sounds very tasty. 3. Slightly mash the fruit after it has been soaking in the sugar, for a mush fruit presentation. 4. If serving warm, generously butter the bottom piece of the shortcake. 5. Use Jiffy Baking Mix, your favorite store brand of Baking Mix (I used Kroger brand while I was in TN) or make the baking mix from the shortcut.

i’m so happy i found this recipe. my mother in law used to make this all the time and i was craving her exact recipe. not something i could make or buy from the store, i wanted exactly what she used to make. i couldn’t ask her because she has since passed. i’ve googled and googled and every recipe wasn’t what i was looking for until i finally found this. so thanks for posting it whoever you are. you made my day and now i can make this for my husband for a surprise. i realize it’s a simple recipe and i could easily buy a different type of cake but i just wanted the comfort this would provide. thanks again.
