Strawberry Season is Coming!
It's May. It's not quite strawberry season yet, but somewhere they ARE growing and I love eating them! It's time to pull out the family shortcake recipe.... Some people think strawberry shortcake is best on sponge cake or angel food. Some people will just crack open a can of Grands. Me? Oh no! I neeeeeeed Grandma's shortcake! Similar to a biscuit but so much easier, it whips up fast and is better than any other cake with my strawberries. The women of my family have been making it for generations.

Spread it into a greased 9x9 pan. I always use this beat up met...
