  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     2/3  C             Butter
   1      C             Sugar
   4                    Eggs
   1      Tsp           Vanilla
   2 1/2  C             All-Purpose Flour -- sifted
   1      Tsp           Baker's Ammonia -- * see note

Cream butter and sugar at least 10 minutes by hand, or 5 minutes in
electric mixer.  The mixture should be thick and white.  Add eggs one at a
time, beating well after each addition.  Stir in vanilla.  If the baker's
ammonia is in granular form, crush to a powder with a rolling pin or a
bottle.  Sift flour and bakers ammonia together.  Stir flour into egg
mixture and blend thoroughly.  Dough will be soft.  Chill for at least 30
minutes.

Cut 6 to 8 -- 8" rounds from waxed paper.  Spread the dough thinly and
evenly on paper rounds, leaving about half-inch margin to allow for
expansion during baking.

Place to or three round (whatever it will hold) on a baking sheet.  Bake at
400° 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown on edges.  Remove at once from
cookie sheet, but do not remove paper until you are ready to assemble cake.
 Assemble by placing well-spiced apple butter between each layer.  Leave
top unadorned.

*The baker's amonia (ammonium carbonate or hartshorn) may be bought at
drugstores.  Or 3 3/4 tsp baking powder may be substituted.
