Nut Bars
1/2 cup shortening 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 4 tablespoons milk 4 cups flour 3 teaspoons Royal Baking Powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup blanched almonds Cream shortening and sugar together; add slowly beaten yolk of one egg; add whites of two eggs well beaten and three tablespoons milk; mix well together. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, add one cup at a time. More flour may be needed, as dough must not stick. Divide into two parts, roll one part at a time 1/4-inch thick on floured board; cut into bars 1 by 3 inches. Brush with yolk of remaining egg mixed with one tablespoon milk and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake in moderate oven about 15 minutes.
