Strawberry Shortcake


My grandma used to make this on occasion and it is something I start craving in spring time. I use the recipe from my old standby the Red Checked Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book!

Ingredients:
whipped topping
6 cups sliced strawberries (although I never measure, I just cut up what I want)
1/2 cup sugar divided (1/4 cup for bread, 1/4 cup for strawberries)
Splash of vanilla (I added this little bit and it's pretty tasty)
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup butter
1 beaten egg
2/3 cup milk

Directions:
Stir 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla into cut strawberries and set aside. Stir together remaining sugar, flour and baking powder. Cut in butter until crumbly. Combine eggs and milk then add to flour mixture until moistened. Spread in greased round pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. Cool, cut, split and top!!!
