Pastry: Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening; gradually add ice water. Blend until dough just holds together; then form into a ball. Divide in two parts and roll out 1/8 inch thick. Cut with 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450'F. (hot oven) for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool and spread about 1 tsp Lemon Butter on each.
