Strawberry Shortcake

6 cups sliced strawberries

½ cup sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

½ cup butter

1 beaten egg

2/3 cup milk

1 cup whipping cream, whipped 

1.     In a small bowl stir together the berries and ¼ cup of the sugar; set aside. Stir together remaining sugar, flour, and baking powder. Cut in the butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg and milk; add to dry mixture. Stir just to moisten. Spread the batter into a greased 8x1 ½-inch round baking pan. 

2.     Bake in a 450 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes or till a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Split into 2 layers. Spoon half of the berries and whipped cream over the first layer. Top with second layer, remaining berries, and whipped cream. Serve immediately. Makes 8 servings.
