Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoonfuls baking powder
  • 1/2 tablespoonful salt
  • 8 tablespoonfuls butter
  • one-half inch thick

Directions

4 cups flour. 3 teaspoonfuls baking powder.

2

1/2 tablespoonful salt. 8 tablespoonfuls butter. Milk enough to roll out.

3

Sift dry materials together, mix in the butter with the fingers, then add milk gradually. Do not use more flour than necessary to roll. Divide the dough in halves. Roll out one-half inch thick, place one-half in buttered pan, spread over with melted butter, place the other half on top of it and bake twenty minutes in hot oven. Eemove from pan. Take top layer off. Butter the inside well of both layers. Cover the bottom layer thickly with crushed sweetened fruit and a layer of whipped cream. Place the other layer on top. Cover the top with whipped cream, colored with the fruit juice if liked, or fruit sprinkled over the top. Serve while warm.
