Old Fashion Tea Cakes Like Mama Made - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. sugar
1 c. oleo or butter
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. nutmeg (optional)
4 c. flour

Preparation

Sift flour into a large bowl.
Make a hole in the middle.
Put all ingredients in the hole in flour and add 1/3 cup buttermilk. Mix enough flour to make a stiff dough as you combine all ingredients with your hands.
Roll the dough on a board and cut with a large cookie cutter.
Bake on cookie sheet at 425\u00b0.
Bake until done but not too hard.
Never roll dough too thin because no one likes tea cakes that resemble cookies.
