| 3. | COMBINE flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in large bowl. Add buttermilk and shortening; beat two minutes. Add egg whites, vanilla and choice of extract. Beat an additional 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Spread batter evenly into prepared pans. Tap pans on counter several times to remove air bubbles. |

| TIP | *Substitute 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice for buttermilk. |
