2 C flour
1/3 C sugar
1 T baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 C butter
2/3 C half and half
1 egg, beaten
2 C whipped cream (or 1 can Redi-Whip®)
additional sliced strawberries or peaches for garnish

Combine sliced fruit and 1/4 cup sugar, mix well and chill.
Preheat oven to 450° F. Lightly grease an 8 inch square baking pan.
Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut in butter with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Mix half and half and egg and mix well. Add to flour/butter mixture and stir just until moistened. Spread the mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cut the cake into six squares and cut each square in half horizontally. Place bottom half of shortcake, cut side up, on plate, top with prepared fruit and dollop of whipped cream, top with second half of cake, cut side down and additional fruit and whipped cream. Repeat for remaining squares.

Easy Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

1 yellow cake mix
1 package of frozen strawberries or 2 pt. fresh
1 container Cool Whip, light

Mix and bake cake according to package directions. (Best to use the 13 x 9 inch pan.) After cake has cooled take the end of a wooden spoon and punch holes about every 2 inches across cake. If using fresh strawberries, chop and put in a little sugar (to taste). Let sit for an hour or so to let juices form from strawberries. Pour strawberries and juice over cake. Refrigerate overnight. About 15 minutes before icing cake - take Cool Whip out of freezer to soften. Once soft, spread over cake, garnish with fresh strawberries. Refrigerate until serving and all leftovers.
