Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 cup cold butter
1 cup milk
2 pints strawberries, sliced
1 tablespoon orange juice

In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in milk until a soft dough forms.

Meanwhile, place strawberries, orange juice and remaining sugar in a bowl; toss gently. Split shortcakes in half horizontally. Place bottom halves on serving plates; top with whipped topping and strawberries. Replace shortcake tops. Yield: 8 servings.

Very good, but what is the 3rd Tblsp of sugar for?

I put some turbino sugar on top of the biscuits before baking.

It was the best shortcake recipe ever. I doubled it and baked in a 7x11" pan instead of the individual mounds. It required a bit longer to bake but was light and fluffy...much better than the Bisquick biscuit shortcakes. Well worth the wait and going into my favorites file.
