This is another very old family recipe. My grandmother used to make Tea Cakes for me when I was a little girl. My littlecousin (Gwen is her real name) rescued the family recipe by getting it from her Aunt Sarah...my grandmother's niece. Just another wonderful thing about being a Southern girl...food and family are always an important part of your life!
Ingredients:
1 stick butter 1 C. sugar (minus 2 TBS)
1 egg ½ tsp. vanilla
Self-rising flour ¼ C whole milk
