     Yield: 8 servings

     6 c  Fresh strawberries; sliced
   1/2 c  Sugar
     1 ts Vanilla extract

MMMMM-------------------------SHORTCAKE------------------------------
     3 c  A-P flour
     5 tb Sugar; divided
     3 ts Baking powder
     1 ts Baking soda
   1/2 ts Salt
   3/4 c  Butter; cold, in cubes
 1 1/4 c  Buttermilk
     2 tb Heavy whipping cream

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
 1 1/2 c  Heavy whipping cream
     2 tb Sugar
   1/2 ts Vanilla extract

 Combine strawberries with sugar and vanilla; mash slightly. Let stand
 at least 30 minutes, tossing occasionally.

 Set oven @ 400°F/205°C.

 For shortcakes, whisk together flour, 4 tb sugar, baking powder,
 baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add buttermilk;
 stir just until combined (do not overmix). Drop batter by 1/3
 cupfuls 2" apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with 2 tb
 heavy cream; sprinkle with remaining 1 tb sugar. Bake until golden,
 18-20 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

 For topping, beat heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken.
 Add sugar and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. To serve, cut
 shortcakes in half; top with strawberries and whipped cream.
