Deep Fried Strawberry Shortcakes
Servings: 8 -16
The most delicious dessert I've ever had, deep fried strawberry shortcakes that are rolled in cinnamon sugar and loaded with berries and fresh whipped cream
Ingredients
- 1 package Pillsbury Biscuits separated into 8 biscuits
- Peanut or canola oil for frying
- 3/4 cup Cinnamon Sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar or to taste
- 1-2 pints strawberries sliced
- 1-2 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven over medium heat filled 1/3 full of oil.
- Separate the 8 biscuits again making 16.
- Add the strawberries and sugar into a dish, stir and set aside. Read more in our fool proof angel food cake post.
- Drop in a couple of biscuits at a time, frying for about 30-60 seconds, turning once, then remove to a paper towel lined plate.
- Place the cinnamon sugar in a dish and while the fried dough is still warm, roll in the cinnamon sugar.
- Repeat until all dough is used.
- Meanwhile, whisk (or I use our kitchenaid whisk attachment) the cream until soft peaks form, add the powdered sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble, top the cinnamon sugar biscuit with whipped cream and berries, or double decker it as shown in the photo.
