Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 60 milliliters milk
- 30 grams powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 6
Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop evenly sized mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Step 9
Allow the teacakes to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, dust the cooled teacakes with powdered sugar before serving to add an extra touch of sweetness.
