1 lb fresh strawberries
2 cups flour
4 Tbl sugar, divided
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold butter
3/4 cup milk
sweetened whipped cream
Slice strawberries, sprinkle with 2 Tbl sugar (more if desired), refrigerate. Preheat oven to 450°. Mix flour, 2 Tbl sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Stir in milk just until mixed. Turn out onto floured surface, knead a couple times. Roll to 1/2″ thickness, cut with 3″ cutter. Place on ungreased baking pan, sprinkle sugar on top of each shortcake. Bake until golden 10-12 minutes. Split in half, fill with whipped cream and chilled sweetened strawberries.
