Minnie'S Tea Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 stick margarine, melted
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 to 2 1/4 c. self-rising flour, sifted
1 tsp. lemon flavoring

Preparation

Beat margarine, sugar and eggs with a fork or whisk.
Stir in flour; start with 2 cups and add more if needed.
You want to have batter stiff enough to roll.
Add flavoring.
Put flour on your hands and pinch a small piece of the batter.
Make a ball out of the batter and press down on a greased cookie sheet.
Space the tea cakes about 2 inches apart as they will spread when they begin to cook.
Bake in a 400\u00b0 oven for approximately 8 minutes.
Tea cakes are done when the edges look a little brown.
This recipe comes from Billy's family's maid, Minnie Pearl Cooper.
