This dessert is heaven on a biscuit! Back me up Courtney...
1 quart strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
2 cups white flour (don't use whole wheat for this)
2 tbsp sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
Sweetened whipped cream, Cool Whip or vanilla ice-cream to top.
1. Mix strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar. Let stand for 1 hour.
2. Heat oven to 450.
3. Cut shortening into flour, 2 tbsp sugar, the baking powder and salt in a medium bowl, using a pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk just until blended.
4. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Gently smooth into a ball. Knead 20 to 25 times. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 3 inch cutter. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Split shortcake horizontally in half while hot. Spread margarine on split sides. Fill with strawberries; replace tops. Top with sweetened whipped cream
My favorite...
