Well I can make sweet biscuits easily enough. I used to be into biscuits
served with uncooked strawberry jam. Man, that was tasty! I never have
made biscuits with butter and cream. That certainly would be tasty. I
have made scones with butter and cream - that was tasty. I guess I could
assemble a strawberry shortcake with scones. :-)

Paula Deen's strawberry shortcake recipe starts out with an angel food
cake - how strange is that?
