This Sunday in the USA its Fathers Day. So I am sharing Grandpa Tea Cakes recipes. Grandpa was old school he made exactly two things : French Toast (lost bread or Panperdu) or Tea cakes. Both recipes from his Mom. So today in honor of Fathers Day here you go…..
Grandpa Tea Cakes
- 1 ¾ cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Directions
Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; stir into creamed mixture. Knead dough for a few turns on a floured board until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
