Strawberry Shortcake Cups
Meet the Cook: Back when store-bought shortcake was an unheard-of thing, my grandmother passed this recipe down to my mother. Mother later shared it with me...and I've since given it to my daughter. When our three children...now all grown (we have five grandchildren) - were little, they liked the cake so much they would eat it with butter and jelly whenever the strawberries ran out! -Althea Heers

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling
Ingredients
1 quart fresh strawberries
4 tablespoons sugar,
divided
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Whipped cream
Directions
Mash or slice the strawberries; place in a large bowl. Add 2
tablespoons sugar and set aside. In another bowl, combine flour,
baking powder, salt and remaining sugar; cut in butter until
crumbly. In a small bowl, beat egg and milk; stir into flour mixture
just until moistened.
Fill eight greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 425° for
12 minutes or until golden. Remove from the pan to cool on a wire
rack.
Just before serving, split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon
berries and whipped cream between layers and over tops of
shortcakes. Yield: 8 servings.
