We're celebrating strawberry season today with a fresh take on strawberry shortcake using homemade buttermilk biscuits and yogurt.
In many parts of the country, you can find fresh strawberries right now at your local farmers markets, or you could visit a u-pick strawberry farm where you can select your own berries right from the field.
The other recipe on the podcast today uses berries that are just coming into season (or something to look forward to if they're not available yet where you are) and biscuits as well – our better-than-a-cobbler Summer Berry Grunt.
Strawberry Shortcake With Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits And Yogurt
Today, we're making a strawberry shortcake. And for this recipe, an old favorite makes another appearance... Chef Orr's legendary buttermilk biscuits.
We've also made our own yogurt for this dish. If you want to try that yourself, check out this recipe.
Watch: Chef Orr's preparation of the strawberry shortcake.
Summer Berry Grunt With Ginger And Lemon
This next dish, called a "grunt" is similar to a cobbler. It uses blueberries and blackberries – something to look forward to later in the summer months as these berries start to ripen up.
Or you can just grab whatever berries or other fruits ARE in season near you right now. "Whatever fruit's in season – peaches, pears, apples – you can make a grunt out of just about anything," Chef Orr says.
