This serves 50 people

Strawberry Shortcake

10 1/2 c. flour
4 1/4 c. sugar, divided
1/2 c. plus 1 Tbsp. baking powdered
4 tsp. salt
1 c. cold butter or margarine
3 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 c. water
8 quarts (32 cups) fresh strawberries, sliced

additional Whipped Cream for topping or ice cream

In a large bowl combine 2 1/4 c. sugar, baking power and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in whipping cream and water just until moistened. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls, 2 inches apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 deg. for 15 min. until golden brown. Cool on racks.

Combine berries with remaining sugar. To serve, spit shortcakes lengthwise, spoon about 1/3 cup berries and whipped cream on bottom halves. Replace tops and top with another 1/3 c. berries and additional whipped cream. Serves 50.
Good luck, Barb in Ohio
