Tea Cake Receipt(100 Years Old) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 c. flour
3 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tsp. soda
3 c. sugar
1 c. butter
nutmeg

Preparation

There
were no baking directions, as this was my grandmother's recipe that she gave to my mother when she married in 1918!
All mother
told
me was that you mix just like you do any cookie
or cake
mix
and bake in a medium oven.
If they don't do
right, turn the oven up or down (as needed).
Grandmother used a wood stove and my mother used a gas oven.
