  1. This is a great shortcake recipe. We enjoyed this very much. I loved the addition of the orange rind, grand marnier and sour cream, it really makes it sparkle. The biscuit was perfect, light, fluffy and sweet with a hint of orange, while the topping was out of this world, the sour cream and whipping cream blend well with the grand marnier. I used fresh ontario strawberries in this, making it extra special. I will be making this again. Thanks for posting.
