2 lbs flour 3 cups sugar 3 eggs 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 6 tsp baking powder 3 sticks butter 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup evaporated milk |
Mix all the dry ingredients together with butter until crumbly. Mix milk, eggs, vanilla and add to the dry ingredients. Don't knead mixture. Instead mix together to form sticky dough. The trick to make dough into balls is to put water in a bowl and moisten hands. Roll dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 250 degrees for 1/2 hr or so until light golden brown. Makes 2 dozen. |
