Add sugar and butter creamed, egg beaten, lemon extract and about two and one half cups of flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Add salt with the last of the flour. Knead until smooth and elastic; place in greased bowl; cover and set aside in a warm place place to rise until double in bulk-about one hour.
