Strawberry shortcake

For my first home baking assignment, me and Jessica got together and made the strawberry shortcake we made in class to try and recreate it perfectly. Although we tried, it didn't come out like it did in class...it may have actually been better.
 In  my opinion, they seemed sweeter than those we made in class. They did not rise into actual biscuits so they were a little flat, but they were perfectly golden brown, and sprinkled with turbinado sugar.
It was a good effort to make the homemade whipped cream, but it just wouldn't form the peak we needed after a way longer time than necessary of whipping it. We ended up just using using packaged cool whip but I mixed mine with the homemade cream.
The biscuit method was used to make the biscuits. This means that solid fat was cut into the flour to give it a tender structure. Chemical leaveners were also used, which makes the biscuit a quick bread. The fats were cut in so the flour couldn't bond with water to defeat the gluten.
Our product was very soft and sweet. The aroma filled the whole house, which was definitely a good thing.
We liked what we made in class so much that we decided to make it again, so yes I would definitely make it again. I would not change anything in the recipe. This project reminded me of when we made scones in class.
