Instructions: Preheat oven to 300 F.

Cream sugar and butter. Sift flour and baking powder. Add flour to sugar/butter mixture alternately with milk. Add flavoring. Fold in well-beaten egg whites [beaten to soft-peak stage].

Prepare mold [grease well with solid shortening and dust with flour, or alternately, spray thoroughly with pan coating]. Fill face side first, attach back side, and bake for 50 minutes. Turn off oven. Flip to bake back in turned-off oven for 10 minutes.

Ice with 7-minute Icing. Sprinkle with white coconut (dye brown or black for different-colored lambs). Use small raisins for eyes and a small red cinnamon candy for the nose. Lay Easter grass around and tie pastel-colored ribbon around the neck.
