How to Make Anne's Teacakes Tea Cakes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead a few times to bring the dough together.
- Sprinkle a clean piece of wax paper or parchment paper with flour.
- Divide dough in half, place half on the prepared surface, and gently roll it out to ⅛ inch thickness using a smooth glass or rolling pin.
- Cut out 2-inch cookies using a cookie cutter or a glass.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy plain, or elevate them into delicious sandwich cookies with your favorite icing (recipes #251093 and #261588 suggested).
