Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberries were on sale and that means time to make some Strawberry Shortcake!  We use a recipe that Uncle's mom created.  It includes strawberry sauce which I personally am ok without, but you can decide how you like it.

Sauce

1/2 c. sugar

2 1/2 T. cornstarch

1/2 small package strawberry jello

1/2 package strawberry kool-aid

Mix sugar, cornstarch, jello and kool-aid in a medium saucepan.  Add 1 cup boiling water, cook until bubbly stirring constantly.  Add 1 cup cold water, refrigerate until set.

Shortbread

1/2 c. butter

1 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 c. milk

1 t. vanilla

2 c. Bisquick

2 1/2 T cornmeal

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs; mix.  Mix in milk and vanilla.  Add Bisquick and Cornmeal; mix until incorporated.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes in a greased 9x13 pan.

Serve your shortcake with the strawberry sauce (if desired), sliced strawberries and whipped cream (or cool whip).
