Grandma's Peach Shortcake

2 c Sifted enriched flour

2 tb Sugar

3 ts Baking powder

1/2 ts Salt

1/2 c Butter or margarine

1 Beaten egg

2/3 c Light cream

Soft butter or margarine 4 c Sugared sliced peaches

1 c Heavy cream, whipped

The biscuits are almost rich as cake! Sift together dry ingredients; cut in butter till mixture is like coarse crumbs. Combine egg and cream; add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring only to moisten. Turn dough out on floured surface; knead gently 1/2 minute. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch. Cut 6 biscuits with floured 2 1/2-inch round or fluted cutter. Bake on ungreased baking sheet in very hot

oven (450?) about 10 minutes. Split shortcakes; butter bottom layers. Fill and top with peaches and whipped cream. Serve warm.
