Shortcake Dough 1-1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons baking powder 3 tablespoons sugar 1/3 cup shortening 1/2 cup milk 1 egg, well beaten

Heat in oven while preparing shortcake. Stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Add milk and egg at once; stir just until flour is moistened. Spread dough over hot peaches. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. More sugar can be used in shortcake dough, if desired.
