  • 2.5 c flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder

  2. in a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Whisk well to mix.

  3. Once thoroughly combined into dough, dump out onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a log, about 2" thick, and about 12" long. Wrap in plastic wrap (or wax paper). Place in the refrigerator until well chilled, about 4 hours.
