Strawberry Shortcake Betty Crocker Recipe          Submitted by Bonnie Dunham

2 cups flour

¼ cup sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

1/3 cup shortening

1 cup milk

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease 8 inch square or round pan. Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon rind and salt into a bowl. Cut in shortening thoroughly until mixture looks like meal. Stir in milk just until blended. Pat into pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.  I double this recipe for a 9x13 pan and bake for 25 minutes.

The grated lemon rind gives this shortcake a little boost in flavor.
