2. toss together strawberries, 1/2 cup plus 2 tbs sugar, 2 tbs flour, and lemon juice in bowl. transfer to prepared baking dish.
3. in a separate bowl, whish together remaining 1/2 cup flour, remaining 2 tbs sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. add butter (or shortening), and mix well with fork until mixture is crumbly. stir in 1/2 cup water. spread over strawberry mixture.
