Strawberry Shortcake

Ingredients

Shortcake
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup shortening
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup milk
Strawberries
  • 1½ qt fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1–2 tbsp sugar
Cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, softened
  • 1 (3.4 oz) pkg vanilla pudding
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream sugar and shortening. Add egg and vanilla; beat well.
