ALMOND STRAWS OR TARTS

Sift together and thoroughly mix one pound of pastry flour, one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoonful baking powder, blanch and pulverize one-half pound of almonds; mix the almonds with the flour ingredients and work in one-half cup of butter and lard mixed. Mix with ice water as in making pastry; cut in the shapes you wish and bake in a hot oven.
