In a large saucepan combine the strawberries, sugar, brown sugar, salt and corn starch. Bring mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally. Cook for about 1 to 2 more minutes so the mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Pour into a cast iron skillet or 8 inch baking pan that’s been liberally sprayed with non-stick spray.
Topping:
In a medium sized bowl cut the shortening and butter into the flour. Add the brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Continue to cut the butter into the flour.
Now add the milk and mix until combined thoroughly.
Drop the mixture over top of the cooked strawberry mixture. Drop randomly so the strawberry mixture can peek out!
Add cinnamon or nutmeg on top for color and extra flavor.
Place the skillet, or baking dish, in the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
