Picture this: You’re camping, you’ve hiked, pitched your tent, and had dinner, and now it’s time for dessert, only you’re not in the mood for s’mores. We recommend campfire strawberry shortcake—all you need is Bisquick mix, a couple of pie tins, and some strawberries and whipped cream to pile on top.
Game plan: If you’re homebound, bake the shortcake in a 425°F oven until done, about 10 to 12 minutes. You can also try Crème Fraîche Whipped Cream instead of standard whip.

- Yields: 8 servings
- Difficulty: Easy
- Total: 35 mins
Ingredients (6)
- 2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for coating the tins
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Smear the pie tins with butter and set them aside. Stir together the Bisquick, milk, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Spoon the batter evenly into the buttered tins.
- Cover the pie tins tightly with foil and place them directly onto glowing coals, avoiding any intense flames.
- Cook until the shortcake has risen and is golden around the edges, about 25 minutes, moving the tins a few times for even baking. Remove the foil and cover the shortcakes with fresh strawberries and cream.
