1 1/2 quarts strawberries, hulled, sliced and sweetened to taste

Cooking Instructions

Stir together flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut butter into flour with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle water a little at a time over flour mixture, stirring with a fork until dough forms a ball. Roll out dough on lightly floured board or pastry cloth to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into sixteen 3 1/2-inch circles. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle circles with sugar and prick with a fork. Chill thoroughly. Preheat oven to 375. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes or until pastry begins to brown. Serve within a few hours or freeze. To serve, place a pastry round on eight individual serving plates; top rounds with half the strawberries. Place another pastry round on top of strawberries. Top with remaining strawberries and whipped cream.
