SANDEE'S STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Strawberry Shortcake
Posted by Sandee

2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. sugar
6 tbsp. shortening
3/4 c. milk

Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening, then stir in milk. Mix lightly until all ingredients are moist and biscuit dough has formed. Knead once or twice. Tear off biscuit-sized lumps of dough and place lumps on cookie sheet. (or if you like neat circles, cut them out!) Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Topping:
Slice strawberries and sprinkle with sugar. Refrigerate until chilled. Top biscuits with berries and whipped cream.
