Directions

1

Make a crust as you would for baking powder bis- cuits, only use more shortening, divide your dough, roll out half of it and put in your pan, melt some butter and spread over the top, roll out the other half and put in the pan ; when your cake is done the top half will slip from the other if you have buttered it sufficiently ; spread with more butter, have your ber- ries mashed and sweetened, put them between the cakes and return to the oven a few minutes ; pour cream over just before serving, or have cream on the table and use when you serve.
