Strawberry Short Cake a la Mode

1 cup flour ½ teaspoon Baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 heaping tablespoon of butter

Sift the dry ingredients together and work in the butter. Mix with enough milk to make a stiff dough which can be rolled as thin as a wafer.

Put one thin layer on a pie-pan and butter lightly; lay another layer on first. Bake eight minutes in a moderate oven.

When cold cut in pieces and split each piece. Place a large tablespoon of crushed, sweetened strawberries between the layers, add the top layer, add more berries, and last of all, a heaping tablespoon of ice cream or frozen custard.
