Memories! Indeed! My grandmother made those by the hundreds. Real thin, buttery and with a thin coat of icing made with confectioner's sugar, but painted on so thinly, and I recall the icing would be dry and crisp. We'd ride through miles of farmland through the sugarcane fields connecting our community to their's, or pop in unannounced when spending long fall afternoons dove hunting. There were always ample supplies of tea cookies, and she'd always send us off with a big jar full. Such memories. My daughter is about the same age as yours and she started making them as a teenager and she nailed it. Every Christmas she'll make them, and it never fails to bring back those memories

I love this channel! As a young man I went to live with my grandparents at age 13. While living there my grandma taught me how to cook. I told her “I don’t want to learn how to cook.” She told me “anyone who eats as much as you needs to know how to cook.” It might sound unkind, but she was nothing but kind and had a great sense of humor. Watching this video reminded me of when my grandma and I used to make snickerdoodle cookies. It’s a good memory.

They are lovely and so not crunchy. I do know that this recipe came over from Scotland & that’s where my great grandma just kept it up. Somewhere along the way the tea cake in my family became a novelty & rarely made… however it is our heritage! Blessings, Allison 🌼

These remind me of English Digestive Biscuits that can be purchased in stores today. My 97 Year old MOM made sweet short bread. It was for short cake( fresh fruit like peaches), and to top deep dish cobbler crust on top only. There was lots of home canned fruit to eat and this type of pie and cobbler with white cake mix baked on top was the other favorite. She canned, cherries, peaches, pears, and apples. She froze blueberries, and rhubarb, and strawberries. The rhubarb upside down cake.... yum.

Teacake in England is a totally different thing, in fact two different things! The normal teacake is a sweet bread dough bun with dried fruit which we slice open, toast and slap lots of butter on. The other sort of teacake is usually bought. It consists of a wafer circle with a dome of marshmallow on top then coated in chocolate made by a firm called Tunnocks.

When I was a youngun, tea parties were a big thing for younguns and grown folk. Can't remember how old I was when daddy bought me an antique porcelain tea set with tiny silverware made with real silver, but I thought it was the grandest thing ever, but it was practically a gift from the old lady he bought it from for real cheap. I got invited to a bunch of tea parties and they all had tea cakes, but when they come to my tea parties there wasn't none, on account of daddy not knowing how to make them, so we had store bought cookies for them. So one day daddy says you ain't had no tea party in a while, I just looked at him, and he says what's the matter, and I says I ain't got no tea cakes, and he says I've got some coming whenever you get ready, and I was surprised and excited. Daddy got to making a list of things we needed to make up the sandwiches and fruit I wanted to serve and it was sure gonna be fancy compared to all the other tea parties I'd ever had, or even been to. So we went to the store to get everything, and daddy let the neighbor he'd talked into making tea cakes know when to have them ready, she was also the lady that sold daddy that tea set. Then on the day of the tea party when I was polishing the tiny silver, daddy says who all's coming, and I says us, he says who's us, I says me and you. He was upset that them other younguns had made fun of me so bad for not serving tea cakes at my tea parties that I didn't wanna invite none of them to another one. It just tore him up, but he couldn't talk me into inviting any of them mean younguns. So just about the time the lady had told daddy them tea cakes would be ready, he says what would ya think on having somebody else at your tea party, and I says who, he says the lady making the tea cakes. Well I thought that was gonna be all kinda fun, so daddy said we should load up everything in a basket and take it with us when we go to her house to get the tea cakes, so we did. She was so surprised and I thought it was the funnest tea party I'd ever been to. Too bad I ain't got her recipe, them things was good. After that, me and daddy had tea parties fairly regular with just us, and on occasions when he'd splurge to pay that lady to make tea cakes, we'd invite her too. But she often invited me to have tea parties with her, and we'd sometimes use that tiny porcelain set, and she'd always make the best tea cakes.

Smells and tastes from the kitchen are probably the most heartwarming memories I have of my great grandmother and grandmother on my mother's side. The excerpts you read from various books are beautiful. I enjoy them immensely. I've heard of tea cakes but not this particular kind, and what a unique recipe! I think I'll try them this holiday season. I wonder if you could shape the dough into a 2" in diameter roll and freeze it then thinly sliced it in 1/8th inch slices. Do you think that would work? Considering the amount of cakes you can make out of one recipe, as a single person it's nice to have cookie dough in the freezer ready to bake. I can use enough to make a few cookies, bake them in my toaster oven and have cookies for the week. I love reading the comments from other viewers. How kind it was for you to search out this recipe, speak to you relatives to see if they had any recollections of tea cakes in order to answer the requests of your subscribers to make these. I think this is why I love your channel. You must spend hours reading and replying to so many of us which creates this connection which I know we all greatly appreciate.

She added finely chopped nuts, which always makes me happy. And, she used a melon-baller rather than rolling them out, and dusted them with powdered sugar when they came out of the oven. I snuck one when you weren't looking and was reminded how much I enjoyed these treats! Though similar, I can send you the recipe if you're interested.

When I was growing up, my relatives would make Tea Cakes with Sauce, they would make their Tea Cakes a little bigger than your Tea Cakes, because Tea Cakes will get hard fast, so that's when the Sauce came in, after you make your Tea Cakes, you will have flour left over, you take the left over flour, mix it with Milk, Sugar Butter a pinch of Nutmeg and slowly boil it on the stove, until it becomes a little thick, let the sauce set for about about ten minutes, then pour some of the sauce on your Tea Cakes, the sauce will help soften the Tea Cakes, and you will have another Delicious Dish.

They were kind of domed when they baked and not as sweet as some cookies as they were more cake like. They were yummy though. And that snuff glass. I remember my grandparents snuff glasses. We drank out of them when we visited. The label which was later removed was white and said W E Garret & Sons. Scotch Snuff. I'm kind of glad it stopped at that generation, but it is a memory of family for me. And my mother always cut her biscuits out with a glass not a cutter. I love simple baked goods best like sugar cookies, pound cake, and the like so I would love these I am sure. :) Thanks for another great video.

When we were young our family had something we called tea cookies, but they were flavored with almond extract - and always put through a cookie press with all sorts of cutting discs. I'd say the thing was 40-50 years old even then since it came from her great aunt. It took skill to get the more complicated shapes out so that they resembled the intended end product after baking - cookies spread. One of my favorite holiday cookies. Reminds me to ask Mom for a recipe - and the cookie press :)

I'm glad you call that implement a spatula (a word I pronounced "spa-too-la" the first time I read it), because I recently brought something like it to someone who said she wanted a spatula, not a pancake turner,. Turned out she had in mind what a Google search reveals is called a "scraper", as opposed to a "flipper". The librarian at my junior high school had a recipe for Russian tea cakes, so in Europe, the delicacy is not just a British phenomenon.

My Mother made a cookie or tea cake similar to your recipe, however her cookies were cut out a little thicker & were somewhat softer than yours. She would let them cool then ice them with Carmel icing. All our family loved them. The grandchildren would be so happy when “Mammy” made cookies. Now I make them for my grandchildren on special occasions.

I think these are what we would call Rich tea biscuits in the uk . Although most people buy them rather than make them these days. I have a recipe in an old cook book with almost identical ingredients to yours.

Almost the same recipe as your Christmas sugar cookies minus the orange zest and no need to refrigerate. 🤗

Both of my dear grandmothers made tea cakes similar to yours, Tipper, and in an 8th grade Home Ec class we made them one day, too. Later I asked my mother if I could make a batch at home, and she agreed to let me. To "pretty them up" I added blue and green food coloring, and the results were TURQUOISE cookies, which no one in the family wanted to eat because of the strange color. But to make me feel good, my sweet mother said we could just close out eyes and eat them that way! The taste was the same as in Home Ec class at school!

My mother said her mother, my grandma, Chloia Easter Srcoggins Dowdy, did not make tea cakes. Her family did not make tea cakes and had never heard about them. She was born in the Petit Jean mountain area in Arkansas. Grandma had a friend, Selene, that would make them when ever she and her children would come to visit. Between both of them there were ten to twelve children to make cakes for. The recipe is just about the same as yours. Grandma did not have a recipe because she never made them. The Depression years were very hard on my mother’s family. My grandmother had eleven children. Even plain ingredients like the recipe for tea cakes was hard to come by at times. Grandma grew a huge garden and canned everything. They did not have a milk cow most times so milk, buttermilk and butter were used for special treats. When I was working I asked the ladies I worked with if they had a recipe for tea cakes. Most said yes. Their families were from Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and other places in the southern part of the country. I have made tea cakes. Mine were the soft type. A little different taste from sugar cookies. My father’s family did not make tea cakes. In the 1600’s they were in North Carolina and migrated to southern Missouri by the 1800’s. They made apple dumplings. Another old recipe that is really, really good!

I drink tea instead of coffee. These tea cakes remind me of cakes I got in my favorite Tea House when I was stationed in Wales, UK. 1975-1977. I’m gonna have to give this recipe a serious try!

Having never seen a teacake, in my mind they were fancy and like a tiny cake. 🎂
