Another great recipe comes from the America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book. Almost any good cookbook should have a reliable recipe- try Martha Stewart, too. As long as you want a classic biscuit-style shortcake, I concur with @HalfPint- just use a cream biscuit recipe that contains a little sugar. Some people like to layer pound cake or angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. It's equally as tasty, just not a true shortcake.

Macerate strawberries with some sugar and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Then assemble the strawberry shortcakes with some whipped cream and the strawberries. On hot days, soft serve vanilla ice cream is fantastic in this.
