Name: Mom's Shortcake
Ingredients: 3 c Flour; 2/3 c Sugar; 1 ts Salt; 3 ts Baking powder; 1 c Shortening; 1/2 c Milk (more as needed); Butter, melted; Strawberries, for serving

There is no power like that of prevailing prayer, of Abraham pleading for Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heartbroken with remorse and grief, Jesus in sweat of blood. Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is the cost of passion unto blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.

		Butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.  Cut in "1 cup shortening or so"
until texture is like 1/2 cornmeal, 1/2 pea. Add milk gradually till
well-moistened (might need more, up to 3/4 cup, depending on humidity).
Gather into a ball (will look like not enough liquid); loose flour will
disappear into it.
Pat about 3/4" thick onto wax paper sprayed with Pam. Drizzle top with
melted butter; spread over dough. Fold dough in half cross-ways; cut into
diamonds and place cakes on greased, foil-lined baking pan or cookie sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees F. about 15 to 20 minutes; yields approximately 1
dozen.
Serve with butter and/or sliced strawberries (with sugar added) and whipped
cream.
