1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

4
Set oven to 375u00b0F.

With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the cold butter until particles are the size of small peas.

Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown; cool slightly (can fill with the whipped cream and strawberries when cake is still warm (it is actually the best this way!).

In a bowl, beat the whipping cream (can use more than the 3 cups of whipping cream if desired, just increase the sugar a little) with 4 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form.

To serve, split the baked shortcakes into halves.
