Here’s a real, old-fashioned dish that your family will like just as much as ours does. Try to use freshly grated nutmeg.
Ingredients
1/3 cup soft butter or margarine
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 egg
1-3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
Instructions
Cream the butter or margarine with the sugar and egg. Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Beat for 2 minutes. Add the flavoring. Bake in an 8-inch greased pan for 25 minutes in a 375 degrees F oven.
Serve warm with Nutmeg Sauce (see below).
