I am 71 years old and one of my favorite memories is waiting outside for my Great Grandfather to come home from work. When I would see him walking over the hill I would run to meet him and I always asked "Pappa, do you have any left overs from your lunch?" He would say, "Let me see." and open his lunch box. He would almost always have a tea cake that Granny had made. I can still taste those tea cakes. This recipe is the closest one I have found to her tea cakes and she used her hands to make them. I still cook with my hands to this day, and roll out biscuits by hand as well. Thank you so much for this video and for bringing back such sweet memories.
Man oh Man....That's how my grandmomma made em.... Thank You So Much...Years you hear me ..Its been yearssss.. she passed in 2001 at 90.. God Bless 💯💯🙇♂️🙇♂️
I took these to work and people were screaming for these! Thank you for taking the time to give us this recipe! It brought back memories of everyone's grandmother! You are a blessing!!!
Omg! I have been hunting and hunting and hunting for this recipe all my life. My granny used to love making these for us after school all day. So delicious!❤❤❤❤❤
Chris, I’ve talked to some Seniors last year and beyond trying to get this authentic recipe for tea cakes. No one could help me. The folks that I know of that knew it have passed away. Thanks sooooo much. I’m making some tomorrow. Blessings to you.
Seems like everybody's Southern grandma made these! Mine did, and so glad you posted this, so I can taste the memory of sitting by her while she made these, waiting for them to get out of the oven!
My GM was Southern but she never made these. But she also moved up North after marrying until she passed away. But I’m really thinking about making these.
Bless you. This is something my mama made us. She didn't have a rolling pin. She had a hand mixer but she used a glass or jar to cut out hers. I do have a kitchenaid stand mixer consider it a blessing. After I commented and asked about these. This recipie came up. God is good. I remember these from growing up in the 70s. We had a glass of cold milk with ours. She also did lemon meringue pies with the white on top. Good so many asking about recipies i grew up with. She my mama learned from her grandmother who she called mama. I'm sure my great grandfather probably had coffee with his with the strawberries add some blueberries that could be for the 4th of july. Seeing those strawberries with whip cream was a treat. I will most definitely be checking out your other channels and that cook book.happy to be a subscriber will definitely share with my older sister as well as the younger ones bet my great aunts in their late 80s and 90s know about tea cakes and I guess you could have a glass of tea with these but was told some did add tea. My mama did hers just like you Mama is 83 now but I can do these for her bet she will smile get a kick out of this Like to keep the tradition going. So again thank you. Bless you. Sending much love.👍💯💜👏🤗🙂⚘🙏🦋🌠. Love, respect and positivity always. Neita james👋. 👋
Chris, you are so right. People did not have rolling pins and cookie cutters. They didn't have storage space or money for things like that. They measured within out specialized cups and spoons. They rolled dough on the kitchen table. They made do and fed their families very well. Grandma cooked like that and started teaching me to cook before I went to school. We had to move because of my daddy's work but I continued to learn more and remembered the old ways she taught me. I'm in my 80s now and can cook cornbread on top of the stove in the heat of the summer. People act like my ways of measuring are unusual. This all just came from country cooking in the 1800s and I was lucky enough to be shown these ways. Bless you for being so kind and continue to bless your family with your cooking.
My grandma made these for me almost 70 years ago. She made them by hand and even cut them with a glass rim. What a sweet and yummy memory. Thanks Chris. You are a blessing!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this recipe. I finally made these today for my husband and he teared up. He said that the taste took him back to his childhood and made him think about his mother. For years I was so afraid to try these because I knew his mother always made them, but she's no longer here. Thanks again.
You take what you have been blessed with and use it to the best of your ability to help others. You are so plain spoken without all the frills. Thank you for sharing your gift and passions with us.
I subscribed! My auntie, Aunt Luddie Bell Nathan from Arkansas, used to make me these all the time. She was the only person I knew that knew how to make tea cakes. She has gone to be with the Lord and the recipe went with her, so that's why I subscribed and you are very thereal and detailed, awesome video. Thank you and God richly bless you 👑 forever. 😇
You are the only cook I've seen/found on the internet who makes everything my gran made exactly her same way. May God bless you every single day, those memories are PRECIOUS.
Thanks for your recipe! My mom always talks about how she misses her mom’s Tea Cakes! I followed your recipe, and they came out great! My mom loved them! They brought back sweet memories of her mom! Thanks so much!
I made these tea cakes yesterday at the request of my daughter. They were fantastic! The only change I made was to use heavy whipping cream in place of the milk; it was what I had in my refrigerator. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Oh my gosh! I think this is like my grandma cookies, finally! I used to help her and the dough was puffy and thick just like hers and they would raise in the middle after baking. We used a glass dipped in sugar to cut then dipped the bottom of the glass to flatten them down some. The whole family has been looking how to make them for over 50 years! So thank you so much, will try this out and give to my brother for Christmas. She used lemon also! ❤️
OMG! ! MY GRANDMA USE TO MAKE THESE TEA CAKE. I COULDN'T WAIT TO GO TO HER HOUSE TO GET TEA CAKES. YOU CAN SMELL THE TEA CAKES BEFORE YOU GET IN THE DOOR. WOW, THIS REMINDS ME OF MY BIG MOMMA . I ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN HOW SHE MADE THEM. I'M GONNA MAKE THESE. MY GRANDMA USED HER HANDS ALSO, AND I REMEMBER THE FLOUR ON THE TABLE JUST LIKE YOUR DOING.THANKS YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. I'M HAPPY I FOUND YOUR VIDEOS. YOU'RE AMAZING :)
Chris So happy to find your channel. So enjoy watching you I am in my 90s so don’t do much baking anymore. Love to watch you. You are bringing back a lot of memories Thank you
Wow that brings back so many memories I remember when I was younger My grandmother used to make her tea cakes the same way and they was so tasty sometimes she use vanilla flavor sometimes she would use lemon depending on what her taste would be for that day but they were sure good Boy I miss them Good old days ; (
Thanks so much. My aunt used to make old fashioned teacakes before she died over 30 years ago. She lived in a small country town in north Florida and the family loved them. After her death, I tried other recipes and they didnt do it for me and i was disappointed i didnt get her recipe before she passed. I tried your recipe and they were spot on! These are awesome!😋😋
You just brought me to tears with this recipe. My grandmother used to make tea cakes when I was little. She passed just before Christmas and we talked about making tea cakes together when she got better. I'm definitely going to use this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing ♥️
Thank you for sharing. Your daughter actually was correct. These were developed in the American South to serve the gentry at tea time/ with tea. It became a staple southern recipe like so many recipes.
Thank you a thousand times over! I have been searching for this recipe, my Mom used to make them all the time when I was a little girl and has now forgotten how to make them. I'm going to make two separate batches, one with the lemon and then the other with the vanilla. You truly are a blessing!
That's why I love you Ms.Chris..I'm old school to and growing up I never had cookie cutter's..I also used a carnation milk can cut out on both ends and even once used a milk jug lid just to make my brother and sister something special...you're such a lovely lady and I love watching you cook...
My 106 years young grandmother made these tea cakes. Great to dip in milk or coffee. Thank you so much. You are beautiful and fabulous, and you are loved and appreciated very much. Thank you very much, for all you share. Sharing is caring. Enjoy. Remember some people do not have housing or food for losing their income in March. Try to pay it forward also to non beggars. Stay blessed always. I am Muslim, so pork is not on my menu. I love Mustard Greens and Kale, and plenty water aka pot liquor.
Just a little history on why I've been looking for authentic tea cakes. My husband grew up on his grandmother's pig farm in the 40s in San Angelo, Texas. We've been married for 31 yrs and live close to Los Angles, Ca. Almost every time we shop in a different store or pass by a bakery he mentions his grandmother's tea cakes. Thanks to you and your sharing, I now might be able to satisfy his life long cravings for his grandmother's tea cakes. Thank you! After I make them, I'll follow up. Also because he's diabetic, I'm going to substitute the sugar for agave because it is slow glycemic and he seems to be ok with it. If it doesn't work, I'm going to use sugar..again thank you. I'm excited to surprise him with them.
Love watching you and hearing explain your recipe. Your voice is so very soothing and love the recipes as well. Your daughter is very lucky to have a you.
Thank you. My mom use to make these all the time. Wish I had paid more attention. All I did wss watch them n the oven for her as she prepared more and eat pieces of dough that she didn't use.
I know how you feel because my mother used to make yhese too and I didnt get the recipe before she passed. My daughter is always asking me if I can remember how she made them. The only thing that she did differently is she would roll them out and bake it whole. Once they were done she would take a knife and cut them in squares.
I have the recipe! From my mother in laws backed. But I did my glass in sugar then press them down.. to omit the greed pan cook them on paper in oven it's a backing paper parchment paper they are so crispy. . Now I am going to have to make them.. thank you for reminding me.. God bless you all.. with GOD NOTHING IS POSSIABLE. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. SOUTHERN IL SUSAN
Thanks for the recipe. I'm in my 60's and my grandmother use to make these for us, my siblings and I were talking about these so now I'm going to make them for our Black History potluck. 👍👍
I have been looking for someone that knows how to make tea cakes! I wish I would have gotten the recipe before my grand father passed! This is the best cookie in the world! Thanks so much for making them for me!
The Tea cakes was our favorite treat after Church at my grandma's friend house. You are bringing back so many of my child hood memories. Love to see you cook 💞
Hi I'm born and raised in Chicago and didn't have tea cakes as a child. I live in Texas now and finally got to taste them but no one would give up the recipe. Thanks to you I have it now.
My grandparents always made tea cakes and my grandma left me her mixer. I'm so happy to see this recipe!!! She never measured anything so I didn't have her tea cake recipes. She was published in several cookbooks but never gave out this recipe.
I'm from Alabama and my mother used to make these tea cakes for me and when I would come home from school you can smell the tea cakes sent in the yard they taste so good I am so glad that I found the recipe for these tea cakes🙏❤
stephanie valentine hey did your mom teach you how to do a butter roll. My mom made them for us. I thought she would live longer, but sadly she died 10 years before I ever thought she would.
I miss my mom & her teacakes also.. She would do the mixing herself it was like 9 of us lol We would take turns helping & we would all try to get the bowl 🍵 after she was done... We never did right lol she would just throw it in the sink & run water in it because we would end up fighting over it!! 😂😂😂😂 I miss her sooo much!!
I’ll tell you what..! You remind me of my mommy! She passed in 1993! The way you pat out your dough and use a glass with flour is the way my mother made tea cakes and biscuits! Sweet memories ! Thank you!
Chris, I'm a novel cook and I follow your recipes/videos to the letter and everything I've cooked so far has come out exactly as yours. I get all kinds of compliments on everything I follow you on. Thanks!!!
I'm SOOOOO Happy I found your page!!! I am a country girl and my Big Mama, along with her sisters were amazing cooks. I didn't understand the importance of paying attention to her recipes, but I learned her techniques and I'll never forget the taste!! Thank you so much!!! I'm making these today...butter softened and ready to go!!!
I had to say thanks as I have searched for a long time for this teacake recipe. First batch, ate them all and shared second batch with FAMILY. Love your presentation . Thank you
My grandmother made the best tea cakes by hand and sorry to say I didn't take time to learn this great recipe,thank you for sharing and teaching me how to finally make them.
Was looking for a simple recipe to try this xmas, so am going to try this one. Also, made me smile, my grandmother taught us to use a glass to make biscuits and so forth. Always right to the point with directions! Merry Christmas!
😢😢😢😢🤗😊 Omg !! I am 66 and this is a memory from way back .My father's mother my grandmother would come up from Louisiana and bring us these in a brown paper bag all the way on a Greyhound bus .We would love to meet her at bus station with that brown sack ..Thank you for this reciepe .(.Granny love you rest in peace .. )
My mother made Tea Cakes when I was growing up in the 40s & 50s. She made them the way she made biscuits, in a large wooden bread bowl. She mixed them by hand and patted them out all by hand. We ate them plain or dipped them in a cup of coffee in cold weather. She used vanilla, but I like nutmeg also. She also sprinkled a bit of sugar over the top before baking. Thank you for your recipes.
Years ago, a friend of mine told me about tea cakes and said that at weddings they appointed young ladies to go around serving them at the reception. Can't wait to try them. Thanks.
the Tea Cake originated in Britain ! how interesting that it landed in our American South !! I checked it and it really became popular in Mississippi ! you do a fine job of showing us a part of your family tradition of making a fine tea cake ! very fine job !
I have used your recipe 2 times... and it is now my hubby's favorite recipe ... he calls them 'cookies' but the amazing thing is the soft top and crisp bottom of each tea cake ... Thank you for sharing your recipe !
My Mom would make these when she took them out of the oven , and still hot she would press the cookie down with warm chocolate icing. That was my favorite childhood memories.
Momma made these all the time. We loved them. Also, maybe you can tell me something. Momma made I swear the same ingredients, made it into a roll and put in loaf pan with mixture of milk and vanilla poured over it. I am sure butter was melted over it too. She would keep spooning these over from time to time while baking. The house smelled like Heaven.
I was thinking about calling an aunt that had a friend that used to make these! Thank you! Now I don't have to call and make small talk in order to get what I really wanted! Tea cakes! Yes!
I tripled this batter. I haven't made teacakes in 40 years the nutmeg smelled wonderful. My friend Lezo Toney and I made them by the pot full. It brought tears to my eyes they tasted great. Thanks Chris 2nd recipe I used this week.
Wow, so glad I found your video. Big Momma would make tea cakes for us for dessert growing up in the big city, we really miss her. Also, my mother in-law used to make tea cakes for my husband and his childhood friends, she's in heaven now. We will attempt to make them following your instructions. God Bless You!
Hi Mrs. Chris. It's so good 2 see u & we're so glad 2 have u back. You really hit home with the old-fashioned tea cake recipe. I grew up watching & helping my mom & grandmother make tea cakes. A lot of the times there would already be some waiting for us when we got home from school. Although my mom & grandmother has since passed on, those precious memories still lingers on in mind. They've passed the torch on to me, so now it's time for me to start passing it on to my grand babies. They're on their way over to spend the week with granny and so we'll be in the kitchen tomorrow making some good old-fashioned tea cakes. Yes we will. Thank you so much Mrs. Chris for sharing with us. Have a wonderful & Blessed week. ☺👼👼☺
Your video poped up and I must say that your recipe looks fabulous and I must try it. I always double cookie recipes...I sometimes freeze 1/2 rolled up. That's so nice of your daughter to help you and she will pass on the family tradition to the next generation...:-)
Your tea cakes really looks good they came out perfect I love them and the Strawberry Shortcake Tea cake that you made had my mouth watering thank you so much for sharing that really look delicious just saying
WOW. This takes me back to my granny’s house 🥰 we always had a sweet treat ready. Thank you for this. 🌹I am going to make them for my children so that they can have this awesome experience.
I remember these when I was a kid. I was always making these for my tea party. My great grandma would bring them and I learned it. We were forever out of sugar because of me. I just may make me some. Thanks for the memory.
No way I was just scrolling and I saw tea cakes i had to stop my God mother is the only one who made these im 63 now she always kept these especially when she knew my brother and I would come to her house she was partial blind so we would read her letter to her,write letters, mail letters, took her to run errands helped her clean up her house very organized, she was very warm friendly generous and spiritual person never knew how she made them but we would take more than one ofcourse thank You
👍😍 Thank you. We used this recipe growing up. We would change the flavor fir what ever we had a taste for....sometimes it was lemon, vanilla or almond flavor. Also sometimes we would put powder sugar on top and made different shapes to switch things up. 🤗💞🤗
This is marvelous. I used to make them for my little ones, now in their 50’s. I couldn’t remember how much of anything but wanted to teach my my grands and great-grands. Thank you, Chris. I did the drop kind without the extra flower and cookie cutting.
My Grandma used clabber . Real clabber . That's when the milk from the cow is poured up in a crack & left to sit till the cream rises to the top & you skim it off & underneath is clabber . The cream is used to make real butter . I churned many of churns of butter . That's makes the very best Tea Cakes . We also used real eggs from our chickens . I use yogurt & store bought eggs now . But they never tasted like grandmas . Aunt Maude made the best rools. Because she used well water from their well. I don't know what was in that water . But nobody came close to aunt Mauds . You just cant beat the old ways . Cooking with wood stoves made some of the best food grandma ever cooked !
I almost cried seeing this. My grandmother and mother used to make teacakes. I always wanted them. Loved to put butter on them while still warm. Tyvm for sharing this video. I never learned how to make them. I was always too busy eating them. TC 🌷
You read my mind. I have been wanting tea cakes forever. My mother used to make them when we were kids. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m going to make some myself. God bless you surely.
Love this recipe Ms. Chris! Real old school. Exactly the way I grew up watching my mama make these, rolling them out and cutting them with a glass! Very nostalgic! Love your videos!☺
Thank You again for sharing Your talents with Us. These Tea Cakes look sooo scrumptious!!! I cannot wait to try to make these for My Family. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! ✝️🙏🏽
So glad I stumbled across your channel. Ive been in search for "my grandmother's" recipe for quite sometime. Seems that no one in my family remember her making tea cakes but me. I made a batch tonite and they were oh soo delicious!!! My hubby cant stay out of the kitchen. Thank you for bringing back some sweet memories from my childhood. As a new subbie, I look forward to many more of your sweet treats!
Thank you so very much for the lesson on Ole School Tea Cakes. It brought back so many memories of my grandmother. It has been over 45 years since I had hers. I am definitely going to try this recipe. I love how you took your time and explained everything step by step.
I'm making the tea cakes, butter cookies, peanut butter and the chocolate cookies starting tomorrow. The tea cakes are exactly like the ones that my little grandma made and Alabama. She made them every Saturday for us and I was too dumb to really watch what she was doing and write the recipe down. But I bet you one thing I will write down Miss Chris recipes all of them, already got the three of them written down just one more to go and that's the real easy one the butter cookies. Thank you Miss Chris for bringing tea cakes back in this Southerners life. People up here in Minneapolis don't know anything about this but I'm going to show them all or as they say down south" I'm going to learn them" 😊
Chris, this is why the cookies were called tea cakes, just the way you cut them out on the table, with the glass. lol I love these, with Ice cream and little dribbles of fudge Chocolate on top right when they come out of the oven HOT. they are just wonderful. and you did them perfect. Again, I thank you every day for your dedication and patients of teaching how to make these . God Bless you . :))), By cutting them out like you did, kind of thick , size , and by a glass. is perfect . good job, I just can't brag on you enough. Have a wonderful Day. and happy cooking. love ya.
😮OMG....my grandmother use to make them many years ago for us when we went to visit her in Louisiana. I absolutely LOVE them. I am so glad that i came cross your video. The only person that left in family that makes them ever blue moon is my aunt. But every time she is asked to make them she say they take a lot of time. Your recipe is very quick and simple. I will Definitely be making some soon...Thanks for sharing!!!!!
I want this book! I am a very good cook thanks to my mom but unfortunately she passed away so I didn't learn all of her recipes.... but you cook just like her! I subscribed last night and I am glad I did... Thank you so much! God bless you 😘
I love tea cakes and haven't had them since I was a kid. I've been been searching for a good recipe and finally I've found one .I'll be making this for my family.thank you.
OMG!!!!!! My father has been asking me to find a tea cake recipe. And I looked, but couldn't find anything. Here it is yrs later, and I just happen upon it. Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for bringing back a special memory of Grandma. Thanks!

Moment of Black History Slavery. The slaves made them for the white women's and they would serve them to their vistors.
My GM was Southern but she never made these. But she also moved up North after marrying until she passed away. But I’m really thinking about making these.

Just a little history on why I've been looking for authentic tea cakes. My husband grew up on his grandmother's pig farm in the 40s in San Angelo, Texas. We've been married for 31 yrs and live close to Los Angles, Ca. Almost every time we shop in a different store or pass by a bakery he mentions his grandmother's tea cakes.

Also because he's diabetic, I'm going to substitute the sugar for agave because it is slow glycemic and he seems to be ok with it. If it doesn't work, I'm going to use sugar..again thank you. I'm excited to surprise him with them.
Love watching you and hearing explain your recipe. Your voice is so very soothing and love the recipes as well. Your daughter is very lucky to have a you.
Thank you. My mom use to make these all the time. Wish I had paid more attention. All I did wss watch them n the oven for her as she prepared more and eat pieces of dough that she didn't use.
My grandma used to make these and I hate I didn’t get the recipe before she passed. Thank you for uploading this video, I will definitely try yours
Me too
I always wanted to know how to make the old fashioned way of making the tea cake cookies. Thanks Kim from Virginia🥰💓
I know how you feel because my mother used to make yhese too and I didnt get the recipe before she passed. My daughter is always asking me if I can remember how she made them. The only thing that she did differently is she would roll them out and bake it whole. Once they were done she would take a knife and cut them in squares.
Same
I have the recipe! From my mother in laws backed. But I did my glass in sugar then press them down.. to omit the greed pan cook them on paper in oven it's a backing paper parchment paper they are so crispy. . Now I am going to have to make them.. thank you for reminding me.. God bless you all.. with GOD NOTHING IS POSSIABLE. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. SOUTHERN IL SUSAN

I have been looking for someone that knows how to make tea cakes!
I wish I would have gotten the recipe before my grand father passed!
This is the best cookie in the world! Thanks so much for making them for me!
The Tea cakes was our favorite treat after Church at my grandma's friend house. You are bringing back so many of my child hood memories. Love to see you cook 💞
Just like my grandmothers!! Thankyou for posting this. 💕
definitely an old school favorite; my mom use to make them for us, when we were kids growing up!
Hi I'm born and raised in Chicago and didn't have tea cakes as a child. I live in Texas now and finally got to taste them but no one would give up the recipe. Thanks to you I have it now.
My grandparents always made tea cakes and my grandma left me her mixer. I'm so happy to see this recipe!!! She never measured anything so I didn't have her tea cake recipes. She was published in several cookbooks but never gave out this recipe.
I'm from Alabama and my mother used to make these tea cakes for me and when I would come home from school you can smell the tea cakes sent in the yard they taste so good I am so glad that I found the recipe for these tea cakes🙏❤
I miss my mom with that being said, she show me how to make tea cake the same way, the old school way. Thanks so much, Great tutorial.
stephanie valentine hey did your mom teach you how to do a butter roll. My mom made them for us. I thought she would live longer, but sadly she died 10 years before I ever thought she would.
Fabulessme has
Recipe for the teacakes
I miss my mom & her teacakes also.. She would do the mixing herself it was like 9 of us lol We would take turns helping & we would all try to get the bowl 🍵 after she was done... We never did right lol she would just throw it in the sink & run water in it because we would end up fighting over it!! 😂😂😂😂 I miss her sooo much!!
@@earnestineester1235 A good job Amen real old recipe Well done Look really brought the old way of doing things Grand parents styles.
I’ll tell you what..! You remind me of my mommy! She passed in 1993! The way you pat out your dough and use a glass with flour is the way my mother made tea cakes and biscuits! Sweet memories ! Thank you!
Chris, I'm a novel cook and I follow your recipes/videos to the letter and everything I've cooked so far has come out exactly as yours. I get all kinds of compliments on everything I follow you on. Thanks!!!
Harry Linton Jr Thank you, your comments are truly appreciated.
Where is the ingredients for the tea cakes
Thanks so much for using your precious time to share your knowledge with others. God bless you always.
Love these!! Thanks for bringing back an old school classic!
I'm SOOOOO Happy I found your page!!! I am a country girl and my Big Mama, along with her sisters were amazing cooks. I didn't understand the importance of paying attention to her recipes, but I learned her techniques and I'll never forget the taste!! Thank you so much!!! I'm making these today...butter softened and ready to go!!!
The first thing I ever made when I was 5 years old. My great grandmother taught me. I miss my mama Jenny.
I had to say thanks as I have searched for a long time for this teacake recipe. First batch, ate them all and shared second batch with FAMILY. Love your presentation . Thank you
I made these for my grandparents and they absolutely loved them. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Was looking for a simple recipe to try this xmas, so am going to try this one. Also, made me smile, my grandmother taught us to use a glass to make biscuits and so forth. Always right to the point with directions! Merry Christmas!
Ahhh I remember my grandmother making these when I was younger 😊❤
😢😢😢😢🤗😊

Can’t believe I slept on this channel for 5 years!! I’ve been looking for a recipe just like 👍 my Grandmother 💕
My mother made Tea Cakes when I was growing up in the 40s & 50s. She made them the way she made biscuits, in a large wooden bread bowl. She mixed them by hand and patted them out all by hand. We ate them plain or dipped them in a cup of coffee in cold weather. She used vanilla, but I like nutmeg also. She also sprinkled a bit of sugar over the top before baking. Thank you for your recipes.
Years ago, a friend of mine told me about tea cakes and said that at weddings they appointed young ladies to go around serving them at the reception. Can't wait to try them. Thanks.
the Tea Cake originated in Britain ! how interesting that it landed in our American South !! I checked it and it really became popular in Mississippi ! you do a fine job of showing us a part of your family tradition of making a fine tea cake ! very fine job !
I have used your recipe 2 times... and it is now my hubby's favorite recipe ... he calls them 'cookies' but the amazing thing is the soft top and crisp bottom of each tea cake ... Thank you for sharing your recipe !
Perfect, Just like my great- grandmother's. Love me some tea cakes!!!!!
My Mom would make these when she took them out of the oven , and still hot she would press the cookie down with warm chocolate icing. That was my favorite childhood memories.
Finally, someone who makes Tea cakes like the one I grew up on!!!
Momma made these all the time. We loved them. Also, maybe you can tell me something. Momma made I swear the same ingredients, made it into a roll and put in loaf pan with mixture of milk and vanilla poured over it. I am sure butter was melted over it too. She would keep spooning these over from time to time while baking. The house smelled like Heaven.
I was thinking about calling an aunt that had a friend that used to make these! Thank you! Now I don't have to call and make small talk in order to get what I really wanted! Tea cakes! Yes!
I tripled this batter. I haven't made teacakes in 40 years the nutmeg smelled wonderful. My friend Lezo Toney and I made them by the pot full. It brought tears to my eyes they tasted great. Thanks Chris 2nd recipe I used this week.
Wow, so glad I found your video. Big Momma would make tea cakes for us for dessert growing up in the big city, we really miss her. Also, my mother in-law used to make tea cakes for my husband and his childhood friends, she's in heaven now. We will attempt to make them following your instructions. God Bless You!
Hi Mrs. Chris. It's so good 2 see u & we're so glad 2 have u back. You really hit home with the old-fashioned tea cake recipe. I grew up watching & helping my mom & grandmother make tea cakes. A lot of the times there would already be some waiting for us when we got home from school. Although my mom & grandmother has since passed on, those precious memories still lingers on in mind. They've passed the torch on to me, so now it's time for me to start passing it on to my grand babies. They're on their way over to spend the week with granny and so we'll be in the kitchen tomorrow making some good old-fashioned tea cakes. Yes we will. Thank you so much Mrs. Chris for sharing with us. Have a wonderful & Blessed week. ☺👼👼☺
I have been searching high and low for this recipe. Thanks so much.
Yum yum love those tea cakes.
Your video poped up and I must say that your recipe looks fabulous and I must try it. I always double cookie recipes...I sometimes freeze 1/2 rolled up. That's so nice of your daughter to help you and she will pass on the family tradition to the next generation...:-)
Your tea cakes really looks good they came out perfect I love them and the Strawberry Shortcake Tea cake that you made had my mouth watering thank you so much for sharing that really look delicious just saying

WOW. This takes me back to my granny’s house 🥰 we always had a sweet treat ready. Thank you for this. 🌹I am going to make them for my children so that they can have this awesome experience.
What a great idea with the strawberries & whipped cream!😊
I remember these when I was a kid. I was always making these for my tea party. My great grandma would bring them and I learned it. We were forever out of sugar because of me. I just may make me some. Thanks for the memory.
No way I was just scrolling and I saw tea cakes i had to stop my God mother is the only one who made these im 63 now she always kept these especially when she knew my brother and I would come to her house she was partial blind so we would read her letter to her,write letters, mail letters, took her to run errands helped her clean up her house very organized, she was very warm friendly generous and spiritual person never knew how she made them but we would take more than one ofcourse thank You
👍😍 Thank you. We used this recipe growing up. We would change the flavor fir what ever we had a taste for....sometimes it was lemon, vanilla or almond flavor. Also sometimes we would put powder sugar on top and made different shapes to switch things up. 🤗💞🤗
This is marvelous. I used to make them for my little ones, now in their 50’s. I couldn’t remember how much of anything but wanted to teach my my grands and great-grands. Thank you, Chris. I did the drop kind without the extra flower and cookie cutting.
My Grandma used clabber . Real clabber . That's when the milk from the cow is poured up in a crack & left to sit till the cream rises to the top & you skim it off & underneath is clabber . The cream is used to make real butter . I churned many of churns of butter . That's makes the very best Tea Cakes . We also used real eggs from our chickens . I use yogurt & store bought eggs now . But they never tasted like grandmas . Aunt Maude made the best rools. Because she used well water from their well. I don't know what was in that water . But nobody came close to aunt Mauds . You just cant beat the old ways . Cooking with wood stoves made some of the best food grandma ever cooked !
I almost cried seeing this. My grandmother and mother used to make teacakes. I always wanted them. Loved to put butter on them while still warm. Tyvm for sharing this video. I never learned how to make them. I was always too busy eating them. TC 🌷
Hi Chris, I love these tea cakes, they're easy to make also. I hope you are well thank you for sharing these.
You read my mind. I have been wanting tea cakes forever. My mother used to make them when we were kids. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m going to make some myself. God bless you surely.
Love this recipe Ms. Chris! Real old school. Exactly the way I grew up watching my mama make these, rolling them out and cutting them with a glass! Very nostalgic! Love your videos!☺
Thank You again for sharing Your talents with Us. These Tea Cakes look sooo scrumptious!!! I cannot wait to try to make these for My Family.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! ✝️🙏🏽
thank you I haven't had t cakes since I was a child now because of you I can cook my own
So glad I stumbled across your channel. Ive been in search for "my grandmother's" recipe for quite sometime. Seems that no one in my family remember her making tea cakes but me. I made a batch tonite and they were oh soo delicious!!! My hubby cant stay out of the kitchen. Thank you for bringing back some sweet memories from my childhood. As a new subbie, I look forward to many more of your sweet treats!
Thank you so very much for the lesson on Ole School Tea Cakes. It brought back so many memories of my grandmother. It has been over 45 years since I had hers. I am definitely going to try this recipe. I love how you took your time and explained everything step by step.
Just looking so delicious , made like my grandmother you are a good cook I know
I'm making the tea cakes, butter cookies, peanut butter and the chocolate cookies starting tomorrow. The tea cakes are exactly like the ones that my little grandma made and Alabama. She made them every Saturday for us and I was too dumb to really watch what she was doing and write the recipe down. But I bet you one thing I will write down Miss Chris recipes all of them, already got the three of them written down just one more to go and that's the real easy one the butter cookies. Thank you Miss Chris for bringing tea cakes back in this Southerners life. People up here in Minneapolis don't know anything about this but I'm going to show them all or as they say down south" I'm going to learn them" 😊
Chris, this is why the cookies were called tea cakes, just the way you cut them out on the table, with the glass. lol I love these, with Ice cream and little dribbles of fudge Chocolate on top right when they come out of the oven HOT. they are just wonderful. and you did them perfect. Again, I thank you every day for your dedication and patients of teaching how to make these . God Bless you . :))), By cutting them out like you did, kind of thick , size , and by a glass. is perfect . good job, I just can't brag on you enough. Have a wonderful Day. and happy cooking. love ya.
