Soul Cakes
Personally I make these for Samhain/ Winternights/Alfarblot/Disablot as a sacrifice to my deities, spirits, and ancestors. They are much like a lightly spiced shortbread and are easy to make and hard to screw up in my experience!
1 Cup butter
3 3/4 Cup Sifted Flour
1 Cup Fine Sugar
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Allspice
2 Eggs
2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
4-6 tsp Milk
Powdered Sugar to top
Preheat oven to 350 F
Cut butter into your flour with your finger tips. (Work quickly so the butter doesn't melt too much!)
Blend in your sugar and spices
beat eggs, vinegar, and milk together
Mix dry and wet ingredients and kneed until it forms a stiff dough
Turn out on to a flat surface and roll out to about 1/4th of an inch
Cut into 3 inch rounds, prick with a fork and bake for 20-25 minutes (keep any leftover dough in the fridge until you can roll it out again)
Sprinkle with powdered sugar
