Herb Tip |
Sift sugar. Beat butter until soft. Add the sugar gradually. Blend
these ingredients until they are very light and creamy. In a separate
bowl beat egg yolks until very light and lemon colored, then blend
them into the butter mixture. Resift cake flour, baking powder and
salt three times and add these ingredients to the butter mixture in
three parts alternately with thirds of the 3/4 cup of milk. Beat
the batter thoroughly after each addition. Add and beat for 2
minutes vanilla, lemon juice and lemon rind. Bake in greased 9 inch
layer pans in a moderate oven (375 degrees) for about 20 minutes.
Spread with Lemon Icing.
LEMON ICING:
Blend the sugar, butter and cream. Beat in the grated rind and the
lemon juice.
NOTES : Well, this one led us a merry chase. A version was posted on
the net, found by a list member to be incomplete. I started looking
for the complete recipe as did the original poster. I found this one
by calling Cyn who called Mrs. Johnson. The copy I have came in
Lady Bird's envelop e and is on the LBJ ranch note paper. Guess it's
the real McCoy. Senescence begins, and middle age ends The day your
