STRAWBERRIES
By jeanette Boyer, Home Service Dept, Royal
Milling Company


In my opinion, strawberries as straw
berries, pure and unadulterated, cannot
be improved upon. But I'm also old
fashioned enough to enjoy strawberry
shortcake to any other strawberry des-
Sert If they must be fixed up. However,
as the strawberry season progresses and
the flushed warm berries appear more
and more on our tables the jaded meal
planner may welcome some new concoc-
tions for the luscious fruit-just to en-
tertain herself even though the family
is willing to attack shortcake three times
a day. After ALL of course, strawberries
cannot be spoiled no matter in what
| connection or combination they appear.
for short cake, I'll give the following
first of all. The shortcake dough we see
/ is really just rich biscuit dough, and
sometimes an egg is added for part of the
liquid. This is just plain one.
Strawberry ShOrtcake
Two cups Rex flour, 1 tsp. salt, 4tsp.
baking powder, 2 tbsp. sugar, tbsp.
shortening, "a cup milk
Mix and sift flour, salt, baking pow
der and sugar together Cut in the
shortening. Mix in the liquid to make
a soft dough. Spread on two we'll creased
layer tins and bake. Remove from oven
and spread lightly with butter Crush
about quart Of strawberries, add cup
OF sugar and spread between layers and
on top OF cake. Garnish with whole
berries and cream.
Time-bake IL minutes Temperature

you like it).

sert.
