Dessert: Super Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Ingredients

1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and sugar; set aside.
For shortcake, in another large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, beat egg; add sour cream. Stir into the crumb mixture just until moistened.
Knead dough on a floured surface 25 times or until smooth. Roll out into a 7-1/2-in. circle on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut a 2-in. hole in center to form a ring. Bake at 425 ° for 12-14 minutes or until golden. Remove from baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely.
For topping, in a small chilled bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form.
Just before serving, split cake into two horizontal layers. Spoon juice from berries over bottom layer. Spoon half of berries over juice. Spread with half of topping. Cover with top cake layer, then spread with remaining topping and spoon remaining berries over top. Cut into wedges.
