2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the eggs and rum extract.
3. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
4. In a shallow bowl, combine the nutmeg and remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
