This fuss-free strawberry shortcake made in a pan eliminates much of the hassle and mess of traditional strawberry shortcakes. Instead of flouring the counter and rolling and cutting out individual shortcakes, you'll bake one giant skillet biscuit-like cake that's topped with macerated strawberries and whipped cream. Perfect for celebrating the arrival of warmer, sunnier days.

  3. Scatter the butter pieces over the flour mixture. Use a rubbing motion with your fingertips and cut the butter into the flour mixture to distribute. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the center of the well. Use a rubber spatula to mix the flour into the buttermilk mixture to form a moist, shaggy dough.
