Jam Pinwheels

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 5 tbsp cold shortening
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp lemon flavoring (liquid)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 jam

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° and grease a 8-inch square pan

Sift flour in a large bowl and add baking powder, sugar and salt. Fork in the shortening finely cut, add the vanilla and lemon flavor and gradually add the milk, just enough to make a soft enough but not sticky dough – avoid over mixing. Roll dough in to a 1/4 inch thick rectangle; spread with 1/2 cup jam; roll up like a jelly roll; cut into 9 thick slices and arrange, a cut-side down, close together in a buttered 8-inch square pan. Bake in a the oven for 25 min.
