Rub 2 tablespoons of butter in

1 quart of flour, with

1/2 teaspoon of salt, and

2 teaspoons of baking powder, Sweet milk enough for soft dough.

Mix lightly and put in pan the shape of Sally Lunn. Bake quickly. When done, split and butter while hot. In splitting any kind of hot bread, cut around the crust with a sharp knife and open carefully with a fork. Have fresh strawberries that have been well sweetened and spread over one-half; then lay on other half and spread with berries. Serve with whipped cream.

Woodburn Orange Shortcake

Mrs. Alexander J. Alexander

Make rich pie-crust and bake. Cut the oranges in sections, being careful to remove the white skins. Drain off the juice. Make a layer of the crust and then a layer of oranges, then crust and oranges. Cover top with icing, as for cakes. Serve hot or cold.

Make a syrup of the orange juice, sweeten to taste, and pour hot over the cake.

Do not stack the cake till just before serving, as the orange will soften the crust.
