Southern Shortcake Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 10-12 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2-1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Whipped cream

Directions

  • Combine the strawberries and sugar; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cut shortening into flour until crumbly. In a small bowl, beat egg; add buttermilk. Stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead three to four times. Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 3-in. round biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned; cool slightly.
  • Split biscuits lengthwise; place the bottom halves on serving plates. Top with about 1/3 cup strawberries and whipped cream. Replace biscuit tops; spoon about 1/3 cup strawberries and more whipped cream on top. Serve immediately. Yield: 10-12 servings.

Editor's Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.
