Another of GMa's faves, she enjoyed her shortning breads with a cup of hot tea and sometimes a cup of Sanka. ENJOY! Thanks, Diana

    NOTE: This is a basic shortning bread recipe. You can add allspice, cinnamon, almond flavor, etc. Also very good with ground or finely chopped pecans, almonds and my favorite Ozark Mountain Black Walnuts. Leave recipe as it (OR) make it your own with additions of spice, nutmeats, candies (crushed peppermint sticks, m & m's, whatever you like, the only limit is your imagination! ENJOY! You can also use as a cookie bar or pie crust base for other yummies with fruit..
