DIRECTIONS
Wash and hull the strawberries; drain. Place the berries in a large bowl, and sprinkle with sugar, cover and refrigerate (1 hour preferably). Prepare the shortcake. Set oven to 375F. Grease 2 large baking sheets. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar (if you prefer your shortcake less sweet, just use 1/2 cup sugar), baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the cold butter until particles are the size of small peas. Stir in egg, milk and extract (if using); mix ONLY to combine (same method as for making biscuits). On a lightly floured surface, gather up 1/2 cup dough per biscuit. Pat dough into 8 (4-inch) rounds. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown; cool slightly (can fill with the whipped cream and strawberries when cake is still warm (it is actually the best this way!). In a bowl, beat the whipping cream (can use more than the 3 cups of whipping cream if desired, just increase the sugar a little) with 4 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form. To serve, split the baked shortcakes into halves. Ladle strawberries in the middle and on top of the shortcake. Top with whipped cream. Delicious!
