1½ teaspoons Calumet Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1½ teaspoons grated lemon rind
½ cup butter or other shortening
1 cup sugar

again. Add lemon rind to butter and cream thoroughly. Add sugar
gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and
cream, and beat thoroughly; then add flour gradually, mixing well. Chill

ungreased baking sheet in hot oven (400°F.) 10 minutes, or until done.
