Sift two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt in a quart of flour, two large tablespoonfuls of butter thoroughly in the flour, mix with just a little milk. Grease pan with butter. I use a pan eight inches square, two inches deep. Take one-half and roll size of pan. Lay in pan and grease top with butter, roll the other one-half and lay on top; bake 40 minutes. Separate when taken out. Mash strawberries a little and sweeten just before serving.

Strawberry Shortcake

This recipe is enough for four persons; if more is needed double the recipe. One egg, one tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of sweet milk or water, one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix with flour enough to make a very soft dough, knead as little as possible, and roll it large enough to bake in a jelly tin. When baked put the strawberries (well mixed with sugar) on the crust. If preferred, save the white of the egg for frosting mixed with a little sugar. Spread it over the top, set it in the oven until slightly browned. Serve with sugar and cream.
