Favorite Shortcake

Yet another shortcake recipe- but this is my Mom's and Grandma's and therefore the only one that will ever really taste right with strawberries, as far as I'm concerned. Have to say it's not really a 'short'-cake by the definition, it's just CAKE-like; also sweeter than the average biscuit-tasting variety. Try it for something different. Prep. time is approximate.
