SOUTHERN TEA CAKES

Ingredients

  • 4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Dough will be soft and wet. On a floured surface shape the dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Flour surface again and roll dough out until approximately 1/4 inch thick. Cut dough into desired shapes and bake on a slightly greased sheet pan for 10 to 12 minutes.
