Blondie's Grandma's Homemade Shortcakes

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Combine dry ingredients.

Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut shortening into dry mixture until mixture resembles a coarse meal.

In a separate bowl, beat egg with milk.

Pour into flour mixture and stir until all ingredients are thoroughly moistened.

Drop about 1/3 cup of dough into mounds on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

*My Grandma served this with fresh strawberries and cream, but you can use other berries as well.*
