Tavern Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. soft butter
3/4 c. sugar
2 to 3 Tbsp. brandy
1/4 tsp. mace
2 1/4 c. flour
milk

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar.
Add brandy and mace, then flour and milk, a spoonful at a time, to make a stiff dough.
Refrigerate until dough is firm enough to roll out easily.
Roll dough to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch, and cut out in small circles. Prick with a fork, and bake in a 350\u00b0 oven until they are firm. They should brown on the bottom, but the tops should remain a pale yellow color.
Store in a covered jar.
