Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times.
  5. Shape and Bake: Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out rounds with a 2-inch cutter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.
  6. Finish: Allow the tea cakes to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • For a hint of citrus flavor, add some lemon or orange zest to the dough.
  • These tea cakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
