Ingredients
  • 1C flour (unbleached all purpose)
  • 1/4tsp salt
  • 1/4tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8tsp cloves (ground)
  • 1/2C buttery spread

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and spices.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the buttery spread and granulated sugar at medium to high speed until pale and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the egg replacer.
