 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Butter
    1/2   c            Powdered sugar -- sifted
  1       ts           Vanilla
  1       ts           Almond extract
  2 1/4   c            Flour -- sifted
    1/2   ts           Salt
    3/4   c            Nuts -- finely chopped

 Mix butter, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract together thoroughly.
 Sift flour and salt together. Blend all ingredients together. Mix
 in nuts. Chill dough. Roll into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookie
 sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 400 F for 9-10 minutes until set,
 not brown. Roll in powdered sugar while still warm. Roll once more
 after cooled. Triple recipe and do not overbake. The secret to
 moise teacakes is to catch them when they are set (9 minutes).
