Ingredients
3 1/2
cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2
cup granulated sugar
5
teaspoons baking powder
1/2
teaspoon salt
1
cup cold butter, cut in pieces
2
eggs, slightly beaten
2
cups heavy whipping cream
1
quart (4 cups) strawberries, sliced
1/4
cup granulated sugar
2
cups heavy whipping cream
1/3
cup powdered sugar
1
teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, stir the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and salt until blended. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
In small bowl, beat eggs and 2 cups whipping cream just until blended. Stir into flour mixture until mixture forms a soft dough. Using lightly floured fingers, pat and press dough in bottom of 15x10x1-inch ungreased pan.
Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix strawberries and 1/4 cup granulated sugar; stir occasionally.
When ready to serve, in chilled large bowl, beat Topping ingredients with electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread top with whipped cream. Using slotted spoon, spoon sugared berries over top. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
