Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

--------------------------RECIPES-------------------------------
2 c Flour 1/2 c Milk
1 tb Baking powder 2 pt Strawberries
1/4 ts Salt 1 c Cream, heavy and whipped
10 tb Butter

Preheat oven 400 deg. Wash, hull, drain, and crush strawberries.
Sift together flour, powder, and salt. Cut in 1 stick of butter with
pastry blender. Mix with a fork, adding enough milk to make a soft
dough. Stir.
Beat rapidly 1 min, until dough leaves sides of bowl. Turn dough
onto floured board and knead gently 30 sec. Divide in half, and with
floured hands, spread each half over the bottom of an inverted 8"
cake pan. Prick the surface with a fork. Bake 15 mins or until
golden. When cakes are done and still hot, spread 1 layer with
remaining butter. Put layer on serving plate, buttered side up and
spread with half the strawberries. Top with second layer and
remaining strawberries. Serve warm with whipped cream. Source:
