Tavern Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Cream butter and sugar.
2. 2
   Add brandy and mace, then flour and milk, a spoonful at a time, to make a stiff dough.
3. 3
   Refrigerate until dough is firm enough to roll out easily.
4. 4
   Roll dough to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch, and cut out in small circles. Prick with a fork, and bake in a 350° oven until they are firm. They should brown on the bottom, but the tops should remain a pale yellow color.
5. 5
   Store in a covered jar.
