My grandmother passed away from Alzheimer's and for years I have been trying to find the missing piece from her well loved tea cake cookies. She was from the south and I have wondered if she mixed her ingredients using a flour bowl, which would explain why there is no mention of flour in her handwritten recipe:
Here goes: 3 egg yolks beat whites still stiff, 3 cups sugar, 3 ??baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, 1 c.crisco, 1 c. milk. This is all I have on a little sheet of pink paper. I would love to recreate the cookie for my dad, he was her favorite : )
