RECIPES
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: Recipes Submitted By DAN KLEPACH On 05-14-95
