Strawberry Hazelnut Shortcakes
These shortcakes are delicate, so you need to use a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to split them. Or you can set a whole biscuit alongside a big scoop of the berries topped with cream. The sweet, earthy flavor of hazelnuts is delicious here, but toasted walnuts or pecans would be great, too.
