  • 1 Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, mix strawberries (with juices) and 1/4 cup sugar; set aside.
  • 2 In medium bowl, cut butter into flour, 1/3 cup sugar, the baking powder and salt, using pastry blender or 2 forks, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in milk.
  • 3 Place on lightly floured surface; knead 5 to 7 times or until dough forms. Pat dough 1/2 inch thick; cut out 12 rounds with 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush egg yolk over rounds; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
  • 4 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes.
  • 5 In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon strawberries between halves and over tops. Top with whipped cream and additional strawberries.

Yes, but who needs 12 shortcakes? I cut it in half very easily. Very tender and I like the crunch of coarse sugar on top if you have it.

This is the very first recipe I made alone as a kid. Hundreds of times later it always tastes as delightful as the very first time. Love the texture and the sweetnes of the shortcake. No store bought shortcake could ever compare to the bisquick style shortcake that this recipe makes.

This recipe is the best. During the FL strawberry season, we have this every get together and sometimes, I have at night after dinner. This recipe can be modified to make only one or two shortcakes easily.
