- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating well until light and fluffy. |
| 2 | Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. |
| 3 | Pour in the buttermilk and continue to beat until well combined. |
| 4 | In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. |
| 5 | Stir in the almond extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough. |
| 6 | Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor. |
| 7 | Once chilled, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). |
| 8 | On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. |
| 9 | Using a biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out rounds of dough and place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet. |
| 10 | Sprinkle each teacake with a bit of additional sugar for a touch of sweetness. |
| 11 | Bake the teacakes in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges. |
| 12 | Once baked, remove the teacakes from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. |
| 13 | These Old-Fashioned Teacakes can be served plain for a simple yet delightful treat. However, for an extra indulgence, consider frosting them with a homemade buttercream frosting. Enjoy! |
