      Title: MOM'S SHORTCAKE
 Categories: Desserts, Quick bread, Mom
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      3 c  Flour
    2/3 c  Sugar
      1 ts Salt
      3 ts Baking powder
      1 c  Shortening
    1/2 c  Milk (more as needed)
           Butter, melted
           Strawberries, for serving
 
  Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.  Cut in "1 cup shortening
  or so" until texture is like 1/2 cornmeal, 1/2 pea. Add milk
  gradually till well-moistened (might need more, up to 3/4 cup,
  depending on humidity). Gather into a ball (will look like not enough
  liquid); loose flour will disappear into it.
  
  Pat about 3/4" thick onto wax paper sprayed with Pam. Drizzle top with
  melted butter; spread over dough. Fold dough in half cross-ways; cut
  into diamonds and place cakes on greased, foil-lined baking pan or
  cookie sheet. Bake at 450 degrees F. about 15 to 20 minutes; yields
  approximately 1 dozen.
  
  Serve with butter and/or sliced strawberries (with sugar added) and
  whipped cream.
