      3 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Baking soda
    1/2 ts Salt

  18-20 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  
  For topping, beat heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken.
  Add sugar and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. To serve, cut
  shortcakes in half; top with strawberries and whipped cream.
