Recipe: Balsamic Strawberry Shortcake with Basil Syrup Drizzle

We’ll be doing this again soon, folks.

It’s just that good.

Oh, the burden of having so many freshly-picked, almost-too-ripe strawberries in the fridge! Our solution? Snack them all down. But I put a bit of a balsamic and basil spin on this classic. Sometimes I just can’t leave well enough alone.

Just stick with your usual biscuit recipe, I’m pretty sure I can’t top that. And make sure the whipped cream is fresh and just a shade sweet.

But this next bit? Is my favorite. I’ll be putting it on all sorts of things this summer.

Vegan? Please, do tell.

What lovely non-dairy substitutions can be made here?

‘Cause everybody should be enjoying this yumminess.

The above was inspired by this recipe at Sparkle Food. And thank you to my sweet Smith Clan in The County for generously indulging in my dessert whim.
