1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
3 cups self rising flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp almond extract


In a stand mixer with paddle attachment or large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the extracts. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and nutmeg, stir into the butter mixture. Knead doughnuts a floured surface for a few minutes until smooth. Cover dough ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm about 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with a glass or cookie cutter. Place tea cakes 1 1/2 inches apart onto a long cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until a light golden brown on top. Allow tea cakes to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with a glass of milk and enjoy.
