Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 425° and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine strawberries with 1/4 c. granulated sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2In a large bowl, whisk Bisquick and remaining ¼ c. granulated sugar. Add milk and butter and stir until a smooth dough forms. Using a cookie scoop (or 2 spoons), mound 8 heaping ¼ c. batter on prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
Step 3In another large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream, powdered sugar, and remaining 1 tsp. vanilla until medium peaks form. Split cooled shortcakes in half crosswise and spoon whipped cream over bottom halves. Top with strawberry mixture, mint leaves, and top halves of shortcakes.
