Quick-Mix Spritz
Time: 10-12 min. Temp: 375 F

2 1/4 Cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Shortening
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

1. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a bowl.

2. With a pastry blender to two knives cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture is full of fine lumps. It will resemble pie crust or biscuit mix, although not as course.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat the mixture very well.

5. Bake

6. Remove at once from sheets. Cool on wire cake racks.
