2 c. sifted flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. raisins
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
Powdered sugar

Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is like coarse meal. Mix in raisins and walnuts. Stir in vanilla until well blended. Roll on floured board to 1/4 inch thickness. With floured cutter, cut into 2 inch circles.

Preheat ungreased griddle to medium hot. Bake 4-5 minutes on first side, 3-4 minutes on second side, until browned. When cakes give to light pressure, they're done. Stand on edge to cool. Roll in powdered sugar. Makes about 40 cakes (cookies).
