Stew 1 pound raisins in water and cover. Add 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla. Thicken with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Set aside to cool.

DOUGH:

2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 c. sour milk
1 tsp. salt

Combine above ingredients. Use enough flour to thicken to a soft dough. Roll out with flour and cut out circles. Put 1 tablespoons or less of raisin filling between 2 circles and press edges together to seal. Bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned, 10 or 15 minutes.
