    • 4 cups strawberries
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 2/3 cup half and half
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 2 cups whipped cream, sweetened
    • 6 strawberries, whole


    Instructions


    1. Hull and slice four cups strawberries; combine with 1/4 cup sugar and chill.
    2. Combine next 4 ingredients; cut in butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine half and half and egg, stirring well; add to flour mixture, stirring just until well moistened. Spread mixture in a lightly greased 8 inch square baking pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; turn out onto a wire rack.

Place bottom half of shortcake cut side up on an individual serving plate; top with a dollop of whipped cream and 2 1/2 tablespoons of strawberry mixture. Add second layer of shortcake; cut side down; top with a dollop of whipped cream and 2 1/2 tablespoons of strawberry mixture.
    4. Garnish with an additional dollop of whipped cream. Add a whole strawberry for garnish. Repeat for each shortcake.
    5. Yield: 6 servings
