Recipe: Sexy strawberry shortcake

Blythe Beck, 'The Naughty Kitchen'

Ingredients

6 biscuits (normally I make homemade but store-bought work just fine)
2 pints cleaned and quartered strawberries
1 cup sugar
1 quart cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup brandy
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
6 mint leaves

Preparation

Clean, quarter strawberries and place them in a bowl. Add granulated sugar and brandy to the bowl. Gently toss strawberries to coat evenly. Allow strawberries to sit at room temperature for an hour.

Add cream to a mixing bowl. Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat ingredients together until you have stiff peaks. Bake biscuits.

Assembly:
Slice biscuits in half and add a layer of strawberries to the bottom biscuit. Add a layer of whipped cream on top of your layer of strawberries. Add another layer of strawberries and another layer of whipped cream. Put the top biscuit on all your layers. Add whipped cream to the top. Garnish with mint leaves.
