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. —Althea Heers, Jewell, Iowa

Made this for desert when my parents and in-laws were over. A pretty easy desert for 12 people. Everyone loved the individual portions. My father-in-law's comment, "This is REAL strawberry shortcake!" (I also gave the option of fresh from the garden raspberries.)
