  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp warm water
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp milk

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, and sugar. Separate the eggs and refrigerate the whites. Mix in the egg yolks and almond extract. Dissolve the baking soda in the water, and stir into the mixture along with the milk. Combine the flour, cream of tartar and salt; gradually stir into the sugar mixture. Fold in the almonds.
