Mix and sift together the flour, baking powder and saltiness, and cut in the
shortening; use the milk cautiously in mixing the dry ingredients to a soft
gelt. Spread the dough in two well-greased layer-cake pans. Bake in a 400
F. oven about fifteen minutes. Spread the crusts with creamed butter, and
finish with sugared berries between and above the crusts. Blackberries,
raspberries, sliced fresh or canned peaches and apricots make selection
shortcakes.
