Ingredients

  • â…› cup baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar

  • 1 ¼ cups shortening

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar. Cut in the shortening by pinching between your fingers or using a pastry blender, until the mixture has lumps no larger than peas. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, water, vanilla, and almond extract.
