Prohibition Tea Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sweet wine (homemade or bootleg)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 cups sifted flour

Preparation

Cream butter soft, add sugar, continue creaming until well mixed. Beat in wine, add salt, cinnamon and vanilla.
Sift in flour gradually while beating, add baking powder to second cup flour.
Mix well, roll out one-quarter inch thick on floured biscuit board. Cut with fancy cake cutters. Put in greased pans dusted with flour.
Sprinkle granulated sugar over tops. Bake in moderate oven. Makes about forty cakes.
** That is the recipe as stated. Moderate oven I would say is about 350\u00b0F It doesn't give a time. 15 minutes would likely be long enough at that temperature I suggest trying them at 275\u00b0F for 45 minutes.
Don't get raided by the coppers! :).
