I love your shortcake too! I have a recipe I make sometime that was my husband's grandmother's that's a lot like this, but it's made as one big shortcake, rather than individual ones. I just separate the dough into 2 pieces instead of 14. I love it, and I know this one is great too!

I make homemade strawberry shortcake every 4th of July. We take it in a cooler to where we watch fireworks. This has been a tradition with my family that I started over 20 years ago.My family really looks forward to it. Thank-you for this post. And just in time for my "shortcake baking".
