Early in day mix 3 pts Fresh from Florida strawberries-- cut in ½
--with sugar. This should make a nice
juicy mix. Do not refrigerate.
Later, make
the shortcake:
2 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
3 tsp Baking
Powder
½ tsp salt
Mix the above together and cut in (with pastry
blender) ½ cup butter or margarine
Combine:
2/3 cup ½ and ½
1 egg
Add egg
mixture to above and stir just enough to
make a soft dough. Knead slightly ( put
flour on your hands and counter)
Pat ½ of
dough into a well greased 8” round cake
pan. Dot with butter.
Pat other ½
of dough on top
Bake 450’ 12
– 15 minutes
Cool
Split apart
into 2 layers – spoon part of the
strawberries between layers
Spoon the rest over the top.
Beat whipped cream using frozen bowl and beaters. Lick beaters. Top with
whipped "crean."
A favorite at Cocoa Beach, especially of those with February Birthdays (Papa 2/2, Jared 2/18, Drew 2/9).
