Title: Best Strawberry Shortcake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Dairy
Yield: 6 Servings

1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Baking soda
1/3 c Cold butter
1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
1/2 c Sour cream or plain yogurt
3 tb Milk
5 c Sliced fresh strawberries
3 tb Sugar

MMMMM------------------SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM-----------------------
1 c Whipping cream
2 tb Sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla

Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

Grease an 8" x 1 1/2" round baking pan; set aside. In a
medium bowl combine flour, the 1/4 cup sugar, the baking
powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut
in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using the
back of a spoon, make a well in the center of the flour
mixture. In a small bowl stir together egg, sour cream,
and milk. Add egg mixture to flour mixture all at once,
stirring with a fork just until moistened.

Using a small offset metal spatula, spread dough evenly in
the prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a
wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool
in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Using a small metal
spatula, loosen sides of shortcake. Place a wire rack on
top of pan; place one hand on top of rack and other hand
under pan and carefully invert pan with rack (use pot
holders to protect your hands). Lift pan off shortcake.
Cool on wire rack until completely cool.

Meanwhile, combine 4 cups of the strawberries and the 3
tablespoons sugar. If desired, use a potato masher to mash
berries slightly; set aside.

To serve, cut shortcake in half horizontally. Spoon the
strawberry mixture and the Sweetened Whipped Cream over
shortcake bottom. Replace the shortcake top. Top with the
remaining 1 cup sliced strawberries.

WHIPPED CREAM: In a chilled bowl combine whipping cream,
sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium
speed until soft peaks form (tips curl).
