Oyster Short Cake

One quart flour, three teaspoonfuls baking powder, one table-- spoonful butter, heaped, a little salt, enough milk or water to moisten well, roll out about half an inch thick and bake on a jelly tin; then spread a little melted butter on the top of this, then place another cake on and bake; when done, the top one can easily be removed, and after the oysters are ready put a layer of them on, then place the one removed on again and put more oysters and gravy on the top. One quart oysters, one cup water, one cup milk, one-half cup butter, and two tablespoonfuls flour; make this gravy and cook the oysters in it long enough to plump them; what is left place in a gravy bowl and add as needed to the cake.
