These tea cakes can be eaten with Tea or coffee or as a snack or with a meal. They can be made as big or as small as you like.
These are like a cross between a biscuit, cookie, and cake. They aren't really sweet tasting but not bland like a biscuit either,, These are light bodied, and buttery, with a hint of nutmeg!

Old Fashion Tea Cakes

Preheat oven to 350

1 cup softened butter
2 cups of sugar
2 eggs well beaten
5 cups plain flour
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
