Old Fashion Tea Cakes

 

I don't know if I've ever had a tea cake, so this recipe definitely caught my eye. I have had scones before and liked them. This recipe was easy to make and I think they came out good. Not a big flavor burst though. Just like a sweet vanilla cakey type of cookie? I think they'd even be good with some orange or lemon zest added. Just to give it an actual flavor other than vanilla :)

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Old Fashion Tea Cakes

2 cups sugar

1 cup butter

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 cups flour

Beat all together well. Cook at 450º for about 5 to 8 minutes. 

*I used unsalted butter

*I used baking soda for soda.

*I sifted all the dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients to the same bowl.

*I used a standard sized cookie scoop and they came out the perfect size.

*I baked them for 9 minutes.

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
