Alabama Tea Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 sticks butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
3 c. self-rising flour
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar.
Add eggs one at a time.
Add flour and mix well.
Add vanilla.
Place bowl in refrigerator overnight. When ready to bake tea cakes, use a teaspoon and take a small ball of dough out about the size of your thumb.
With your greased hands, roll the dough into a smooth ball and lay on cookie sheet. Press the ball down very flat with a fork.
Bake at 350\u00b0 until edges are brown.
The chilled dough is easier to work with.
Also keep fork in cup of ice water and it will work better.
