Perfect strawberry shortcake, made
at home in the simple old-fashioned
4 way, is more tempting than the most
elaborate concoctions of bakers or
hotel chefs. Biscuit shortcake, by all
+, MEANS" is the masculine verdict; lit
tie Shorter" than usual, perhaps, the
housewife may decide, but otherwise
simply biscuit dough, the lightest and
best she knows how to produce, topped
off with luscious whole berries,
, whipped cream, icing, or egg whites.
Double Instead of Split Biscuits.
Individual shortcakes are attractive
In appearance and easy to serve. The
dough may be cut out with very
large biscuit cutter or made into
squares. Instead of splitting one large
cooked biscuit. two thinner rounds of
dough may be baked together. if the
lower one is first Outtered to enable
the cook to slip them apart.
The strawberries, after washing and
hulling, may be cut in halves and
sprinkled with sugar shortly before
the biscuit dough is made. A few
perfect whole berries should be saved
to decorate the top layer. The others
should be merely cut, not crushed nor
mutilated.
Hull and trim a few at time, drop
for q moment only into bowl of
clean, cold water, so that the sand
sinks to the bottom while the fruit
floats ON top, then skim off into
colander to drain dry. If a whole
quart of hulled berries is turned into
( pan of water some of the berries
become soft and lose their fine flavor
before the entire quantity can be
rinsed and taken out. The sand from
the upper ones often settles on those
beneath. The same is true when any
fruit or vegetable is merely put in a
colander and thrust under running
water.
: Putting the shortcake together at
serving-time is matter of individual
preference The dessert will be ex-
cellent if 1t merely consists of the
split, buttered biscuit covered in the
center and on top with berries from

to spread Whipped cream, sweetened
and favored with vanilla, is perhaps
the most quickly prepared finish for
the shortcake. if there is plenty of
cream on hand. Beaten egg-whites,
an admirable substitute for cream,
