This is the best recipe for shortcake - they're good split and toasted the next morning also!

List of Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 1/3 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter
1 egg -- beaten
3/4 cup milk - use enough to make 1 cup when mixed
with egg
More sugar










Recipe

Mix the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter. Add the liquid to make a soft dough. Form into 6 (humongous) or 8 (somewhat more reasonable sized) shortcakes. Sprinkle tops heavily with sugar. Bake on a greased cookie sheet in 400 -425 oven for 15-17 minutes, until tops are light golden.
