It's a summertime mast for tfae entire family. This is Oregon Strawberry Shortcake week. According to an "official" ' proclamation issued by Gover nor Elmo Smith, "Oregon, as no other state in the union, is the natural center for this favorite family dessert." The three most important in gredients which go into straw berry shortcake are Oregon wheat, strawberries and cream. Oregon Marshall and Northwest variety berries are the finest for flavor and quality. Oregon is one of thaj leading strawberry pro ducing states in the nation, and the shortcake which bakers pro duce is made from Oregon's fa mous soft wheat. Oregon's fresh, wholesome dairy foods complete the flavorful trio, adding rich ness and flaky texture to the shortcake and a glorious creamy crown for the shortcake. Oregon strawberry shortcake is also available the whole year around since much of the Oregon crop goes into the huge frozen strawberry pack, which makes strawberry shortcake a year around treat. Shortcake making is a cinch. Bakqrs and grocery stores have a tasty and convenient base, fluf fy yellow dessert cups with scooped out centers for holding the sliced or crushed berries. But if your idea for shortcake is gol den biscuits, here's an old-fashioned recipe made better because of Oregon wheat. Use 2 cups prepared biscuit mix, 2 tablespoons sugar. cup cream or '.i cup milk and lA cup melted butter, extra softened butter, 4 cups sliced sweetened strawberries and 4 cup whip ping cream. Add cream or milk and melted butter to biscuit mix and sugar. Mix with a fork. Keep dough soft but if it is sticky add a bit more biscuit mix. Turn out on floured cloth. Knead 10 times to shape in ball. Pat or roll out to half of thickness desired when baked Spread liberally with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in hot oven, 450 degrees F., for 10 minutes. Split and butter. Cover lower half with sweetened berries. (Use about 3.i cup sugar for 4 cups berries and allow to stand at room temperature a while.) Place top half on berries and cover with more berries. Top generously with whipped cream. Serve at once.
