Rinse strawberries under cold running water. Drain in collander. Do not soak strawberries in water. Save 10 or 12 large strawberries for decorating the top of cake.

Stir well with large spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Shift the flour onto the wax paper. Pour flour into 2 cup measuring cup. Add salt, sugar, and baking powder. Shift the flour back onto the wax paper. Return flour to the shifter and shift once, again. A total of (3) times. Add cut up pieces of cold butter (3 tablespoons) to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or two knives cut the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like cornmeal in texture. Gradually add the cold milk. Mixing with a fork to form a sticky dough. Sprinkle a small handful of flour onto the wax paper or bread board. Turn the dough onto the wax paper or bread board. Sprinkle with a little more flour. Knead the dough lightly, forming a ball. Now, divide the dough into two equal size balls. Roll one ball into a 9 inch circle. Using two tablespoons of the soften butter spread into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch cake pan. Place the 9 inch circle of dough into the buttered pan. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small frying pan or skillet. With pastry brush brush the butter onto the dough (that's in the pan). Use the entire 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Now, roll out the remaining ball of dough into 9 inch circle. Place it on top of the dough that has beeen brushed with the butter. Bake for 15 Minutes in a pre-heated oven at 425 degrees.

Remove from oven and separate the top from the bottom with a bread knife. Place the bottom half onto a large 12 inch serving plate. Spread the remaining 3 tablespooon of soften butter evenly onto the bottom half of dough. Add half of the Strawberry Mixture. Use a slotted spoon.
