Cake Shortcake

Cake Shortcake

Ingredients:
1 small cup sugar.
1/2 cup butter.
1 cup cold water.
1 egg.
2 cups flour.
3 teaspoonfuls baking−powder.

Directions:
Rub the butter and sugar to a cream; sift the flour and baking−powder together; beat the egg stiff without
separating; put the egg with the sugar and butter, add the water and flour in turn, a little at a time, stirring
steadily; bake in two layer−tins. Put crushed berries between, and whole berries on top.
Tiny field strawberries make the most delicious shortcake of all.
Peach Shortcake
Make either of the rules above, and put mashed and sweetened peaches between the layers. Slice evenly about
four more, and arrange these on top, making a ring of them overlapping all around the edge, and laying them
inside in the same way. Sugar well, and serve with whipped cream or a pitcher of plain cream.
