Tea Cakes

Tasty homemade tea cakes right from granny's oven.

My grandmother made the best teacakes. They were soft, fluffy and had a sweet taste in your mouth. They were so good that you grab two after she told you only to get one.

Serves 36

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Combine the sugar and butter in a mixer bowl, beating until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Shape cookie dough into small balls.

Arrange on a cookie sheet. Press flat with the flat bottom of a glass. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
