How to Make Aunt Neals Old Fashioned Tea Cakes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disc of dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out the tea cakes. Place them 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Sprinkle the tops of the tea cakes generously with the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the tea cakes cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
