2 c. sifted flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c. milk

Sift together the first 4 ingredients. Blend in the shortening with a pastry blender. Then with a fork, make a "well" in the center of flour mixture. Drop the egg into the well. Pour milk into well next, and with a fork, stir until all is blended. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheet. Makes 9 small cakes. Bake at 450 degrees about 7 minutes or until lightly brown.

While still hot, insert fork into each cake carefully to split, and spread butter on bottom half. Replace top half quickly. Serve hot or cold with strawberries.
