Stir well with large spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Shift the flour onto the wax paper. Pour flour into 2 cup measuring cup. Add salt, sugar, and baking powder. Shift the flour back onto the wax paper. Return flour to the shifter and shift once, again. A total of (3) times. Add cut up pieces of cold butter (3 tablespoons) to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or two knives cut the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like cornmeal in texture. Gradually add the cold milk. Mixing with a fork to form a sticky dough. Sprinkle a small handful of flour onto the wax paper or bread board. Turn the dough onto the wax paper or bread board. Sprinkle with a little more flour. Knead the dough lightly, forming a ball. Now, divide the dough into two equal size balls. Roll one ball into a 9 inch circle. Using two tablespoons of the soften butter spread into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch cake pan. Place the 9 inch circle of dough into the buttered pan. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small frying pan or skillet. With pastry brush brush the butter onto the dough (that's in the pan). Use the entire 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Now, roll out the remaining ball of dough into 9 inch circle. Place it on top of the dough that has beeen brushed with the butter. Bake for 15 Minutes in a pre-heated oven at 425 degrees.
