👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix strawberries and 1 cup sugar in a bowl and allow to stand while you complete remaining steps.

Stir occasionally to help juice form.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease an 8-inch round baking pan.

Combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir milk into crumb mixture until just blended; pour into prepared baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes; cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing shortcake.

Split shortcake into two layers; spread bottom layer with 2 tablespoons softened butter and top with strawberries and juice.

Place top layer over strawberries.

Serve with whipped cream.
