Preheat the oven to 350°.

Dough:

In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and mix in the butter.

Fold in the cream.

On a lightly-floured surface, divide the dough into 4 pieces, and pat into 1-inch-thick rounds.

Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 35 minutes, until golden.

Filling:

Hull and slice the strawberries, mix with sugar.

Split the shortcakes and spoon the filling onto the bottom half.

Replace the tops and serve with whipped cream.
