Strawberry Shortcake

Grandma Lyla’s Strawberry Shortcake
4 cups sifted all purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
6 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter
2 beaten eggs
1 1/3 cups light cream/or buttermilk

*** Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine eggs and the cream/buttermilk, add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring just to moisten. Spread dough in two 8 x 8 pans. Bake @ 450 oven for 15-18 minutes.
Add sweetened chopped strawberries and whipped cream.
(I usually half this recipe unless I am feeding the multitude)
