Strawberry Shortcake – Girl Meets Oven

This strawberry shortcake recipe is from Ken’s Grandma Shirley. It’s the perfect summertime treat when strawberries are in season. It’s also easy to make.

First, wash your strawberries.

Then slice and hull them.

Then I like to mix in a little honey and poppy seeds in mine. This is optional, and not in Grandma Shirley’s original recipe.

Then start the shortcakes. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Then cut in the butter.

Next, stir in the milk.

Scoop out onto a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Or until golden brown, like this:

Serve with whipped cream and strawberries. Enjoy!
