Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh strawberries, drained
  • Whipped cream, optional

Method

  • In a large saucepan, combine sugar and water; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; allow to cool. Pour butter into a 13x9-in. baking dish; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until moistened.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 8-10 times. Roll into a 12x8-in. rectangle; sprinkle with the strawberries. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; seal the seam. Cut into 12 slices. Place with cut side down over butter. Carefully pour syrup around rolls.
  • Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and edges are bubbly. Serve warm with whipped cream if desired.
