Southern Tea Cakes

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Dough will be soft and wet. On a floured surface shape the dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Flour surface again and roll dough out until approximately 1/4 inch thick. Cut dough into desired shapes and bake on a slightly greased sheet pan for 10 to 12 minutes.
