Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine strawberries and 1 cup sugar in a bowl; allow to stand while completing remaining steps, stirring occasionally to help juices form.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch round baking pan.
Step 3
Combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into crumb mixture until just blended; pour into prepared baking pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes; cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing shortcake.
Step 5
Split shortcake into two layers. Spread bottom layer with 2 tablespoons softened butter; top with strawberries and juice. Place top layer over strawberries. Serve with whipped cream.
