- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons solid shortening (recommended: Crisco)
- 1 large egg

- 3/4 pound strawberries, washed, sliced, and macerated in a bit of sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Sift together all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix to combine. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or 2 forks. Lightly beat egg in a measuring cup and add milk until the mixture reaches 7/8 cup, then add vanilla. Stir the liquid ingredients to dry and blend until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch cake pan, level with a spatula, and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and a cake tester comes out clean.

Reviews
I’m going to try this using organic spelt flour, organic cane sugar, free-range (cage free) eggs, AND, Earth Balance Margarine…
BTW, “Crisco” is ALL TRANS FATS…being banished from many products as it is Very Unhealthy and there are SO MANY other healthier options. I recommend that you try the Earth Balance vegan buttery sticks or organic whipped margarine for this recipe.
