An old fashioned strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and a baked 8-inch round split shortcake.

Ingredients:

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled
  • 1 cup sugar
  • vanilla ice cream
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 cup milk

Preparation:

Slice strawberries; sprinkle with sugar and let stand. Heat oven to 450°. Grease an 8-inch round layer-cake pan. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 forks until crumbly. Stir in milk until just blended. Pat dough into prepared pan; bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Split horizontally and fill with berries; top with small scoops of ice cream when served. Strawberry shortcake serves 6.

"I read the other reviews before making this. The recipe was already corrected regarding amount of salt. I didn't have shortening and used 1/3 cup of a stick of margarine instead. My family agrees, this recipe is a keeper."
