Old-Fashioned Teacakes

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons buttermilk
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• additional sugar

1. Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well.
2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Add buttermilk, beat well.
4. Combine flour and soda; gradually stir into creamed mixture.
5. Stir in almond extract.
6. Chill dough, tightly wrapped, several hours, or overnight.
7. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
8. Cut into rounds with biscuit/cookie cutter.
9. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet, and sprinkle with additional sugar.
10. Bake at 400-degrees for 7-8 minutes.
11. Remove to wire racks to cool.
12. These may be served plain, but I prefer to make a buttercream and frost them.
