* Step 2
Cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth, beat in the egg
* Step 3
At this point it's better to add the spices so they mix well...so add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, vanilla and lemon extract and mix well
* Step 4
Now add half the buttermilk, mix in, then add the remaining buttermilk
* Step 5
Now mix in the flour 1 cup at a time for a smooth dough...the dough will be light and fluffy
* Step 6
Using the scoop, place the cakes 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet (dough will spread)
* Step 7
Bake for 10-12 minutes
* Step 8
Remove from oven and cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to a rack or plate to cool completely
* Step 9
Let the cakes cool to touch before glazing -also glazing is optional, these are great without the glaze too!
