5 cups fresh
strawberries
Sugar to taste Wash and hull strawberries; drain. Either leave the strawberries whole or sliced. Perfect Slicing Tip: Use your egg slice. Stem the strawberries first, then slice just like you would a boiled egg. Much quick than using a knife. In a large bowl, place strawberries and sprinkle with sugar; cover and refrigerate. Prepare shortcake. In a medium bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form; fold in sugar. To serve, split baked shortcakes into halves. Ladle strawberries onto top of shortcake and top with a dollop of whipped cream. NOTE: Best served when shortcake is warm. Shortcake can be reheated. The berries will be juicier if you crush a few before sugaring and let them sit for an hour before using. Makes 8 servings. SHORTCAKE:
1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup chilled butter or margarine 1 egg, beaten 1 1/4 cups milk Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two large baking sheets.
