EACH SPRING, we sing the praises of Louisiana strawberries; we just can’t help it—they’re so sweet, juicy, and delicious! Their incredible flavor makes them the best ingredient for all your spring baking endeavors. During strawberry season, we’ll be whipping up a batch of these simple homemade Strawberry Shortcakes featuring angel biscuits. These light-as-air biscuits are made with three leavening agents: yeast, baking powder, and baking soda. This combination produces tall, tender, flaky biscuits that are the perfect vessel for sweetened strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
