WHIPPING CREAM BISCUITS

1 cup butter or margarine

4 cups self-rising flour

 2 cups whipping cream

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

 

Cut 1 cup butter into flour with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Add whipping cream, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 3 or 4 times. Roll or pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch round cutter, and place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 13 to 15 minutes. Brush warm biscuits with 1/2 cup melted butter.

STRAWBERRIES

3 pints of fresh strawberries

1/2 cup sugar

Remove the stems from the strawberries. Slice into thin slices. Put into a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar.  Set aside at room temperature to macerate.
After the strawberries have been sitting for 20 minutes, take a fork and mash them gently.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble your dessert.
