Strawberry Shortcake

So it's the 4th of July and I am trying to find a good strawberry shortcake recipe.  I google it and find sites like Food Network, Taste of Home,  All Recipes and Betty Crocker, all that have many recipes with lots of pop ups it made me dizzy.  Martha Stewart had a recipe but the 2 cups of flour to 1 cup of cream seemed like it wouldn't work.  

I find my old 'Betty's Pies Favorite Recipes' cookbook.  Betty was a women who had a small restaurant on the north shore of Lake Superior near Two Harbors, Mn.

 Betty is no longer around, the restaurant has been sold and the new owners call it the same but it's no where near the quality of home cooking done by Betty.  

Her book can still be bought here:

And the shortcake.......

...it was amazing.  I did use heavy whipping cream instead of half and half cause that's all I had.  I also sprinkled some course raw sugar on the top.
