1/4 c. sugar or honey
2 tsp. orange juice

1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter

Combine strawberries, sugar or honey and orange juice. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour. Sift all dry ingredients together into medium bowl. Add orange rind. Add butter and shortening and work them into flour mixture thoroughly. Lightly mix in sour cream with a fork to form a soft dough. Roll dough out onto lightly floured board 3/4 inches thick. Cut into 4 circles about 4 inches wide. (A 2 pound coffee can as a cutter works well) Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden. While still warm use fork and split cakes in half. Place each on dessert plate. Top with additional berries and some juice. Garnish with whipped cream and a strawberry.
