In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
