Into a bowl sift together the flour and the baking pwdr and blend in the
lard, the vegetable shortening, and the sugar till the mix resembles coarse meal. Stir in the almond extract, the egg, and 1 Tbsp. water,
or possibly sufficient to create the mix into a soft dough, knead the dough several times, and let it stand in a cold place for 5 min. Form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and press them down with the palm of the hand to create cakes about 1/2 inch thick. Press an almond into the center of each cake and bake the cakes in batches on floured baking sheets in the middle of a preheated 375F. oven for 5 min. Reduce the temperature to 300F. and bake the cakes for 8 to 10 min more, or possibly till they are light golden.
Makes 30 cakes.
