Strawberry Shortcake

This is such a easy recipe that the kids can do it.  In fact my kiddos (7 and 5 years old) did most of this!  Here is the fabulous recipe!



2 cups General Mix *
2 Tbls sugar
1 Tbls baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter or butter substitute
1 egg
1 tsp lemon juice
2/3 cup milk or substitute
3-4 cups strawberries
1 cup whipping cream or substitute

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl
Cut in the butter until the flour mixture is the consistency of course crumbs
Add egg, lemon juice, and milk

Spread dough in a greased 8x1/2 pan
Bake for 15-18 minutes
Let cake cool for 2-5 minutes in the pan on a rack.
Take out cake and slice into two layers
Alternate the layers of cake, whipping cream, and strawberries

Enjoy!
