Title: ELEGANT TEA CAKES
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings
1/2 c Butter
1 c Granulated sugar
1 Egg
1 tb Cream
1 ts Vanilla
2 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
Serve these not-too-sweet cookies in the traditional
English fashion with your favorite cup of tea. They
are delicious with a dab of jam or marmalade and hold
up well when dunking.
In a bowl, cream butter with sugar until very light.
Add well beaten egg, cream and vanilla. In a separate
bowl, sift flour with baking powder; add creamed
mixture and blend well. Roll dough into a log and wrap
in aluminum foil. Chill overnight, or in freezer for 2
hours if rushed for time.
Preheat oven to 350ø. Remove dough from refrigerator,
slice very thin and place on greased cookie sheet.
Bake 5-8 minutes at 350ø.
Variations: For various holidays decorate with
colored sugar, beads or icing. Or substitute almond or
lemon extract for the vanilla to vary the flavor.
Yield: 10 dozen. Suzanne J. Brown, owner SBJ
