3 eggs
2 c. sugar
4 c. self-rising flour
3 tbsp. buttermilk
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. shortening
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough. Roll out dough thin for crisp teacakes; thick for soft teacakes. Cut with favorite cookie cutter, arrange the teacakes wide apart on a greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees until slightly brown.
