Aunt Joy's Shortcake

4 c. flour

2 c. sugar

2 sticks butter, softened (not margarine)

1 Tblsp + 1 tsp baking powder

2 c. milk

2 eggs

2 tsp. real vanilla extract (not imitation)

Blend flour, sugar and butter until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup of mixture.

Add baking powder and blend in with a fork. Mix eggs and vanilla into milk and add to dry ingredients. Stir until all crumbs are wet. Do not use a mixer, or stir until smooth, or it will not grow. Pour into a greased and floured 9" x 13" pan. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs over the top. Bake at 375 F until top springs back when lightly touched (about 35 minutes)

Great with strawberries, peachs, blueberries, or alone with milk/cream for breakfast.
