strawbery shortcake - sam style!

Picked about 4 lbs of strawberries today...because I could. Seriously, I will eat them up on my cereal and in smoothies and all over yum yum yum.

First thing I did was make some strawberry shortcake! I asked my mom for the recipe she always made and she told me it was actually my grandmother's recipe, more of a biscuit than a shortcake but sooooooo tasty. So I figured I would share since so many of you have been kind enough to share your recipes with me --

2 cups of Flour
3 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of sugar
2/3 cup of milk
1/2 cup of vegetable oil


mix it all together! Spoon it onto a baking sheet (it makes about 6 biscuits) and bake at 400 for @10-15 minutes.

They are the consistensy of a biscuit so they do a good job of soaking up the strawberry juices and whipped cream topping.

Oh, but I failed at making whipped cream. :( I tried to do it by hand but I think I needed my electric beater and I forgot it at home. Ah well, next time! :D
