Old-Fashioned Shortcake

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and grease a 9-inch pie dish or square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Cut in the cubed butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbs form.
  3. Mix in eggs and milk until just combined, then transfer the batter to the prepared pie dish.
  4. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Allow cake to cool before slicing. Serve fresh berries and whipped cream.
