Old fashioned, made from scratch strawberry shortcake. Ingredients:
1 quart strawberries, sliced |
1 cup white sugar |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons white sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup vegetable shortening |
1 1/2 cups milk |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Mix strawberries and 1 cup sugar in a bowl and allow to stand while you complete remaining steps. Stir occasionally to help juice form.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round baking pan.
3. Combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into crumb mixture until just blended; pour into prepared baking pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes; cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing shortcake.
5. Split shortcake into two layers; spread bottom layer with 2 tablespoons softened butter and top with strawberries and juice. Place top layer over strawberries. Serve with whipped cream.
