"This keeps well in a tin for weeks. You eat it by breaking off pieces of one of the cakes. As it is very rich, a little goes a long way. The number of servings given here is very approximate. This recipe came from my mother."

Original is 24 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Have shortening at room temperature but do not let it melt. Cream it.

Step 2

Add sugar and salt gradually.

Step 3

Mix and beat to a frothy mass.

Step 4

Add nutmeg and flour, mixing in by hand a little at a time.

Step 5

Knead till smooth. Pat dough rather firmly together so it won't fall apart.

Step 6

Shape into a roll 4-5" in diameter, and cut off pieces about 1" thick. This should make about 6 large cakes. Scallop the edges with a fork.

Step 7

Bake on a greased sheet till light golden at 325-350', about 30-40 minutes.
