Western Melon Shortcake Are you a perfectionist about wanting perfectly round melon balls? Try laying the melon bailer or measuring teaspoon flat on the surface of the melon. Apply enough pressure to cut, then give a twist to make the ball. Usually melon balls are made by cutting into the melon flesh at an angle so it leaves one side flat. How you cui the whole melon will also make a difference as to the number of perfect melon balls you can cut out of the flesh. By cutting the melon lengthwise you have more surface to cut from. Western Melon Shortcake Mash 4 cups of melon balls or cubes with a potato masher and mix with V2 to 1 teaspoon almond flavoring; chill. Prepare biscuits according to your favorite recipe, or use a package pack-age mix if you prefer. Split each biscuit in half and spread cut sides with butter or margarine. Spoon melon sauce over the bottom bot-tom halves of the biscuits. Cover with biscuit tops and spoon more melon sauce over entire biscuit. Serve with whipped cream.
