Cream shortening........

Add sugar to shortening.......

Cream together......

Add Eggs

2 Eggs and 2 Yolks

By Starting to Whip them up

Whip...Whip..

Whip..........

And of course don't trip over the dog. Jake is my kitchen buddy...

Now put the flour together. Take 5 1/2 cups of flour, add 1/2 teaspoon baking Powder, 2 teaspoon of baking soda,cinnamon ..not sure how much I use but just dump it in, maybe 2teas





Whisk it all together

Making Buttermilk or store bought either will work. I take the milk to almost 1cup and add vinegar to one cup, Then add one cup of hot water.





Buttermilk and water.....

I almost forgot the cinnamon .Oh me oh My

Now is the time to add the wet and dry ingredients together

aternating the dry and wet mixing well between each.

Dry.......

Now the wet and so on and so on

I can use the mixer most of the time but it gets thick and a spatula and spoon wil clean it up.

This is a good batch as long as it is thick.

Chill for about an hour
Now is the time to clean up the mess

While that is chilling you can prepare two cookie sheets, Put parchment paper on the sheets.

Using two small spoons one to scoop the other to push off batter.




With the baking powder in it they will rise. Space them apart putting about 8 per sheet.

When you put it on, it is recomended to flatten and make round by patting it in place.

Put in the oven for 10 mins...

This is about 5 mins in the oven...

They are done........... Let cool ( do not lay on the top till completly cool )

Add Iceing on the bottom of one....

Put two together making a sandwich..

Wrap them in plastic wrap one at a time...( makes great lunch snacks )

All done and looking good, Husband had two already....
