Even though this may not be on the healthy side. My family loves when I make this and I think it tastes wonderful!

I thought this turned out fine. My brother ate most of what was left. I must be in the minority..I dont go to Pillsubury and expect to find healthy recipes...There are sites out there for that kind of thing.Whether they list the values or not you can reasonably assume it will not be low cal or low fat.Also, biscuits of any type (whether it is refrigerated or the baking mix style they will not turn out like the sponge cake.You need to make cake for that.If you are looking for a spin on the traditional type of recipe,then this is a reasonable take on it.

Regardless of the taste/ease of this this dessert It's over 550 cal and 34 grams of fat per person. Why don't you give the nutritional facts with your recipes so we can make informed decisions?

I know this is easy & tastes fine. However, it still tastes like a refrig biscuit and not nearly sweet enough. I'm one of those who prefers sponge cake for shortcake recipes. Any one out there who can suggest a way to sweeten up the biscuits????
