Katherine's Buttermilk Pound Cake

3 cups plain flour, sifted
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup Crisco (use butter flavor)
1 cup buttermilk
4 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. butter flavor

Cream crisco and sugar, then add eggs one at a time. Add buttermilk, salt and other flavorings. Beat until mixed well. Then add soda and flour. Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes at 325 degrees. Do not open door until time is up.

May ice with 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar and juice of one orange and 1/2 lemon. Most of the time use orange and grate as much of the orange as you like.
