STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CUPS

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CUPS
We got lots of strawberries from bountiful baskets.  Have always wanted to make strawberry shortcake.  It made a perfect Sunday night meal.

Recipe found in Taste of Home Contestant Winning 2006 pg 219.

1 qt fresh strawberries
4 T sugar, divided
1 1/2 cup flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cold butter
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Whipped Cream (cool whip or dream whip works too)

Mash or slice strawberries.  Add 2 T of the sugar and put in fridge until ready to eat.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar; cut in butter util crumbly.  In a small bowl, beat egg and milk; stir into flour mixture just until moistened.

Fill eight greased muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake at 425 for 12 min or until golden brown.

Remove and cool on wire rack.

Just before serving, split the shortcakes in half horizontally.  Spoon berries and whipped cream between layers and over the top.
