-CREAM-
1 c Shortening (part butter)
1 c Sugar
-MIX TOGETHER-
2 Eggs; beaten
2 ts Vanilla
1 c Sour cream
SIFT TOGETHER
5 c Cake flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Soda
Add flour mixture alternatively with the liquid to the sugar mixture. Chill
thoroughly. Roll out and cut with cookie cutter. Sprinkle with sugar and
press lightly. Bake in moderate oven (375) for 15 minutes.
I do not use as much salt when I make it. I only use 3/4 t. They seem a bit
salty to me when made with the full amount of salt.
The hints are from my own experience. The recipe is from a hand-written
index card that has been forever in my mother’s recipe card box.
