Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 10 kabobs

Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury biscuit dough (10 count)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp water
  • white granulated sugar for sprinkling
  • 10 large strawberries, hulled
  • 10 skewers cut to size
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar for sprinkling
  • whipped cream
  • maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into approximately a 10cm {4-inch} circle. Using a small circle cookie cutter {4cm or 1 1/2 inch}, cut out 3 circles from each biscuit round. If you don't have a cookie cutter, just look for something round around the same size that you can use. {I used the lid from a Slim Fast drink!}

  3. Place the small circles on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Whisk together the egg white and water, then brush the mixture onto each biscuit and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and lightly press down the tops with a spatula. Flip them over. This makes both sides flat so it's easier to assemble the shortcake stacks. Continue baking for an additional 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let them cool before constructing the skewers.

  5. Slice the strawberries horizontally into three pieces. Place a shortcake round on a platter, layer on a piece of strawberry and continue alternating until you have three layers of each {the smallest part of the strawberry should be on top}. Add the skewer to secure. {NOTE: If you prefer, you can skewer the bottom shortcake and just continue to add the pieces on the skewer as you go.} Sprinkle with icing sugar.

  6. Eat as is, or place on a plate or in a bowl for serving. Top with desired toppings such as whipped cream, additional strawberries, or a light drizzle of maple syrup.

Recipe Notes

NOTE: After you cut your circles from the dough, there will be scrap dough left over. You can use this if you would like to make additional shortcake rounds, however, the more you roll it, the less nicely it forms. You could always use the ones that weren't as perfectly round for the middle piece in your skewer.
