  • Mix remaining 1 cup sugar and flour in a deep mixing bowl. Add cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat in 8 tablespoons butter until mixture forms lumps.
  • Beat milk and egg together until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add vanilla extract and beat for 10 seconds. Slowly add milk mixture to flour mixture and blend until mostly smooth; a few lumps are okay.
