Happy Strawberry Shortcake Day!

We fondly remember Strawberry Shortcakes from childhood, but haven't had many since. Too bad, because we rediscovered their great taste today, a day to celebrate them across the country. The best strawberry shortcakes have fresh cream, ripe strawberries and homemade shortcakes. What's a shortcake? It's a crumbly, sweet biscuit that's simple to make.

Pictured at the top are Strawberry Shortcakes from Epicurious. It's a classic recipe you'll want to try as soon as possible.

For a change of pace that's handheld, try Strawberry Shortcake Cookies from Martha Stewart, below. They incorporate the strawberry flavor and crumbly texture of a classic shortcake into a cookie.
