2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs plus enough milk to make 1 c. liquid
1 tsp. baking soda, dissolved in 1/2 c. more of sweet milk
2 tsp. baking powder
6 c. flour

Blend shortening, sugar, salt, vanilla and nutmeg. Add liquid (1 1/2 cups in all) to shortening mixture and stir well. Sift flour with baking powder and add, beating well. This can be rolled out and cut, but I just drop by spoonfuls. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 degrees.
