Old Fashioned Tea Cakes

Who doesn't love an Old Fashioned Tea Cake? Tea Cakes are holiday tradition in our home. I am pleased to share this simple recipe for them with you!

What you will need:

1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter; add sugar and well beaten egg. Add salt and vanilla. Sift flour and baking powder. Add slowly to mixture, alternating with milk until mixed well. Roll 1/8 thick and cut into desired shapes with cutters. *Note: You will need flour for dusting your rolling pin and the dough as it will be slightly sticky (or at least mine was).  Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden.

Enjoy!
