How to Make Heart Shaped Cakes Little House
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Using cold fingers, cut in 1 cup cold lard until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk and gently mix with one hand until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour.
- Shape the dough into a ball and roll it out to an 8-inch circle.
- Using a floured table knife, cut the circle in half, then each half into thirds, creating six equal wedges.
- Shape each wedge into a heart shape.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet. Arrange the heart-shaped cakes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cakes are puffed.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the tops generously with granulated sugar.
- Allow to cool completely before wrapping individually in blue tissue paper (optional) for gifting.
