Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake I prefer strawberries, but you can also try peaches for this recipe! Prep Time 20 minutes Cook Time 18minutes Total Time 38 minutes Servings: 8 Equipment * 8 round pan Ingredients * 4-6 cups sliced strawberries * 1/2 cup sugar, divided * 2 cups all purpose flour * 2 tsp baking powder * 1/2 cup butter * 2/3 cup milk * 1 large egg Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 450F. 2. Prepare strawberry mixture: stir together sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of the sugar; set aside. 3. In a large bowl, stir together, remaining sugar, flour, and baking powder. Shred butter into bowl. Mix shredded butter with flour mixture. 4. In a separate measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. 5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients all at once. Mix just until combined, the batter will be somewhat lumpy. 6. Spread into greased 8 inch round pan build up edge slightly if able. 7. Bake at 450° oven for 15-18 minutes and golden. You can also check by inserting a toothpick in the center and make sure it comes out clean comes out clean. 8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. 9. Spoon the fruit and whipped cream over the top. 10. Serve immediately and enjoy! 11. If you’re not making this for one large event, I recommend doing slices of cake, adding strawberries and whipped cream to each slice. That way you have cake left over if needed.
