With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarsely cornmeal. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Pour in milk all at once; mix with fork just until all flour is moistened. Dough will be lumpy.

Spoon dough into prepared pan; then press with fingers to fit pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool partially; cut into 9 squares. (Shortcakes can be served warm or cold.)
