1 cup sugar |
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating well. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla; beat well.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, soda, 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and salt; stir well. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Cover and chill dough at least 3 hours.
