Individual Strawberry Shortcakes

Mix and sift twice two cups of flour, one-fourth of a cup of sugar, four level teaspoons of baking powder, a pinch of nutmeg and one-fourth of a teaspoon of salt; rub in one-third of a cup of butter; add one egg, well beaten, to two-thirds of a cup of sweet milk. Mix on a floured pastry board, roll, cut with a cookie cutter, and bake in a hot oven twenty minutes. When done split, spread with soft butter, then with well sweetened strawberries. Cover the top layer also with strawberries, sprinkle generously with sugar, and heap over all sweetened whipped cream. See Page XVII.
