  2      cups          flour
  4      tablespoons   sugar
  4      teaspoons     baking powder
    1/2  teaspoon      salt
  1      stick         butter or margarine -- softened

Preheat oven to 400.  Mix first five ingredients in a food processor.  Beat
together eggs and milk.  Pour over flour mixture and process just enough to
blend.  Roll out on floured board to about 1/2 inch thickness.  Cut out 12
circles with a large round cookie cutter.  Place six cut outs on baking
sheet.  Top each with pat of butter and then top with a second cut out.

Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes, or until golden brown.  Split in middle to
create two layers for strawberry shortcake.
