Strawberry Shortcake Cups

Directions

1. Mash or slice the strawberries; place in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and set aside. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. In a small bowl, beat egg and milk; stir into flour mixture just until moistened.
2. Fill 8 greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 425° until golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from the pan to cool on a wire rack.
3. Just before serving, split shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon berries and whipped cream between layers and over tops of shortcakes.
