of an egg, two teaspoons of Royal Baking Powder, a very little salt, and milk enough to make a soft dough. Do not kneed the dough, but just barely mix it, and press it into the pie plate. The baking powder, butter, sugar and salt should be rubbed well through the flour, and then the other ingredi- ents quickly added. A couple of hours before bringing the cake on the table take a very ripe, finely flavored pineapple, peel it, cut it thin as wafers, and sprinkle it thickly with sugar. Then cover it close. When time to serve split the cake, spread the pineapple between the layers, and serve with sugar and cream. Do not butter the cake; it would destroy the delicate flavor.
