Sift flour, measure, and sift with baking powder and salt. Cut in
shortening. Add grated lemon rind, sugar, egg, raisins, and enough milk to
make a soft dough that can be molded. Pat into sheet 1 inch thick and cut
into rounds, or mold small amounts into round buns. Stick a bit of citron
in the top of each. Reserve a little of the egg to brush over the top.
Place on well-oiled baking sheet. Bake in hot oven (450 F) 12-15 minutes.
Brush top with 1 tablespoon sugar moistened with a little cream. Serve hot.
