1 qt. strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup sugar, divided
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk

1
Combine strawberries and 2 Tbsp. sugar; let stand 1 hour.

Stir together flour, remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Stir together egg and milk until blended; add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Place 1 cake on a serving plate; top with half of strawberry mixture. Spread half of whipped cream over strawberry mixture. Top with remaining cake, spreading with remaining half of whipped cream. Garnish, if desired. Cut into wedges, and serve with remaining strawberry mixture.

Bake at 425u00b0 for 11 to 13 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut shortcakes in half horizontally, and spread bottom halves evenly with strawberry mixture and whipped cream.
