Ingredients:  
2 c. flour
¾ c. sugar
1½ tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:
Directions:
Heat oven to 425ºF. Lightly grease and flour an 8" cake pan.

Sift dry ingredients together. cut in the lard or shortening with a pastry cutter or two knives (or in a food processor). Add enough milk with the vanilla to make a soft dough. Knead only enough to make the softened dough manageable. Pat out into cake pan. Bake in oven about 15 min. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

In a large bowl, mix together strawberries and sugar. Set in refrigerator to chill. When ready to pile over the shortcake, you may stir in ½ c. ice water (this is optional, depending on how much "ooze" you like in your shortcake".

Slice the shortcake horizontally into two rounds. lay bottom half on a plate, pile with half the berries and top with second shortcake half. Cover with remaining berries and lots of whipped cream.
