Vanilla Wafers

== Ingredients ==
* ⅓ cup butter and lard in equal proportions
* ¼ cup milk
* 2 cups flour
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 egg
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
== Directions ==
# First cream the butter, add sugar, egg well beaten, milk, and vanilla.
# Mix and sift dry ingredients and add to first mixture.
# Toss one-fourth of mixture on a floured board and roll as thinly as possible; shape with a small round cutter, first dipped in flour.
# Place near together on a buttered sheet and bake in a moderate oven.
# Gather up the trimmings and roll with another portion of dough.
# During rolling, the bowl containing mixture should be kept in a cool place, or it will be necessary to add more flour to dough, which makes cookies hard rather than crisp and short.
