Instructions
To prepare strawberries, combine strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar; cover and chill 1 hour.
To prepare shortcake, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through baking soda) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Combine buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times with floured hands. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Brush top with egg white; sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Carefully split shortcake in half horizontally using a serrated knife; cool layers separately on wire racks.

Drain strawberries, reserving juice; drizzle juice over bottom half of shortcake.
Spread 2 cups whipped topping over shortcake layer; arrange strawberries over whipped topping. Top with remaining shortcake layer, cut side down.
