BASE

CRUMB TOPPING

Sift together flour, baking powder and sugar; add shortening, mixing well with fingers until fine crumbs form. Add the cream and the egg, mixing well. Pat dough out on a greased cookie sheet, pushing up sides. Top with a layer of desired fruit. To prepare crumb topping, mix together sugar, flour and baking powder. Rub in butter and enough cream to make coarse crumbs. Note: If using rhubarb, gooseberries, or other similarly tart fruit, add extra sugar as desired. Speinkle crumbs over fruit and bake in 375 F8F oven for 25 - 30 minutes. Cut in squares and serve.
