Zubereitung von Soul Cakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of cold unsalted butter into 4 cups of all-purpose flour using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and ½ cup milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough to ¼-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out rounds.
Place the cut-out cakes onto greased baking sheets. Prick each cake several times with a fork.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let the cakes cool slightly on the baking sheets before dusting lightly with powdered sugar.
