Strawberry Shortcake

1 cup flour
1 T. Sugar
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
2 T. Margarine
¼ c. plus 2 T. milk
2 cups sweetened strawberries, sliced
½ cup whipped topping or yogurt

Thaw strawberries, if frozen. If using fresh, add ¼ cup sugar. Preheat the oven and lightly grease a baking sheet. Sift the flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl and cut in the margarine until coarse crumbs appear. Make a well in the center and add the milk, stirring quickly until the dough follows the fork around the bowl.  Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 10-12 strokes. Roll the dough to ½ inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter dipped in flour. Bake on the greased baking sheet for 12-15 minutes at 450⁰. Top with the sweetened strawberries and whipped topping or yogurt.
