Sift:
2 c. flour
4 t. baking powder
1¼ t. salt
1 T. sugar

Cut in:
3 or 4 T. butter

Knead quickly on floured board and roll dough thin.  Cut with about a 2 inch cutter.  Put one biscuit on greased baking sheet, butter the top and place another thin biscuit on top.  Repeat with all the dough.  Bake about 10 minutes in 400 degree oven. 
Slice berries and toss gently with sugar—about 2 T. for each cup of fruit or to taste.
