This is not that creepy yellow sponge cake from the grocery store.
This is home made goodness at it's best. It is easy to make and is always a homerun!

30 min | 20 min prep
SERVES 4 -6 , 8 short cakes
- 4 cups strawberries
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Wash, trim, and slice strawberries. (I use an entire carton) Place in a medium size bowl. Add a 1/4°C of sugar and mix gentely, and place in the refigerator.
- In a mixing bowl; measure flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shorting until mixture looks like cornmeal. Stir in almost all of the milk. If dough is not pliable add enough milk to make soft and puffy. round up dough and place on a lightly floured board, kneed lightly for 20 -25 seconds.
- I use a cookie scoop to measure out biscuts instead of rolling them out.
- Place an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Server warm or cold. Top with milk or ice cream and whip cream.
