2 c. sugar
1 c. Crisco
1 c. buttermilk with 1 tsp. baking soda
2 beaten eggs
5 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. nutmeg

Cream sugar and Crisco, then add buttermilk with soda. Add eggs to mixture. Sift flour and nutmeg; add to mixture. Roll on lightly floured board 1/4 inch thick. After you put filling on first cookie, put other cookie on and press down around edges to seal in the filling. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.

FILLING:

1 1/2 c. ground raisins (I use about 3/4 lb.)
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 c. hot water

Blend and cook slowly until thick; cool.
