This reminded me of the line from To Kill a Mockingbird: Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum.
After watching this, I got so 'homesick' for the late Miss Phyllis (Stokes) and Mr. (Dr.) Bucky and her videos showing her struggle to find a tea cake just like his grandmother's and how a viewer finally sent a recipe that was more similar to his memory. Maybe you were a viewer of hers, Lori? Her son has done a lovely job keeping her channel going and helping her ministry. Between your recipe and hers you've got me longing to try a batch of these.
Phyllis Stokes was the first channel I watched on TH-cam. She was such a great inspiration. She got me interested in more cooking and baking. Gone too soon.
What a joy Miss Phyllis was. My grandchildren love making those tea cookies! It was a gal named Patti that sent Miss Phyllis the recipe. Mr Bucky, after tasting it, looked up towards heaven and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. These are better than yours." It was priceless!
I know what you mean Molly. Miss Phyllis was one of a kind. I watch Stephen's videos too. She would be very pleased with what he's doing with her channel, and she and Mr Bucky's ministry.
I remember my grandmothers Tea Cakes; she was born in 1899 in Mississippi. moved to Arkansas. married my granddad. 3 meals a day made from everything on the farm.
My granny (born in 1896) made THE BEST tea cakes ever (recipe passed down to her by her mother who was born in 1874.) She never used measuring cups or spoons, just her hands ("a heaping, a smidgen, a pinch") and used a wood stove until the mid 1960s. Each of my aunts and female cousins have tried and tried to "figure out" her recipe but never could do it. I am going to try your recipe and see how close it is to hers. Thanks for posting!
Those tea cakes look amazing! I used to make a recipe from Germany when I was a little girl. The recipe book disappeared from my mom's house, but they looked much like these but with raisins in them. They were my favorite! I hope someone can share the recipe I've been searching for, for 40 years. Until then, these will do nicely. Thank you again Miss Lori. ❤😊
My Daddy was born in Philly in 1950. Idk if he’s ever had these but he gets nostalgic sometimes even sheds tears, so I want to make these for him and see if it brings back any happy memories ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you
My mom told me she grew up eating Tea Cakes. She was born in 1938 in North Carolina. I understand, her grandmothers and mom made Tea Cakes. I definitely want to make some Tea Cakes. They look like thick sugar cookies. I love a big thick sugar cookies. Thank you for sharing an old fashioned and treasured recipe.
Belinda, My mother was also born in 1938 and she was forever talking about her grandmother and mother making teacakes. Although I don't recall her making them often, she has the recipe written in her hand, and she titled it "Grandma's Tea Cakes." It's a treasure to me!
All i know is my grandmaws were the best. I'm going to give these a try, I Hope they are good. I'm 65 and I need a tea cake to go with my coffee. Have not had one since she passed in 82. Thanks for the cooking. I grew up in Pope county.
Ohhhhhhhh, I can't wait to make these! They look delicious! I'm 55 yrs young. I've heard of them but have never tasted one. I will be shopping and then making these this weekend. :) Thank you Miss Lori
My father-in-law made these for my kids back 40 years ago. He is gone now, but we have his recipe. Thank you for the wonderful recipe of yours which brought loving memories of Alabama Paw Paw.
I still remember my Grandmother called Granny making tea cakes. She didn't measure nothing, and they were so good. I still wish I had some, and her recipe too. Thanks
Ms Brown, I am a gal in my 60s and am so glad you have a great recipe for Tea Cakes!?? I can't wait to make some, however I didn't get how much oil or cream of tarter. Once again THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
This is very similar to a recipe my great grandmother made but hers didn't use confectioner sugar or have oil. She used to say she was "scottish to the backbone" 😊. She had a 57 acre farm and made everything from scratch. My mom and uncle grew up with her because her mom passed during childbirth when my mom was just a year and a half old, so I really thought of her as my grandmother. I can't wait to try this recipe.
This recipe is exactly the one my mom made 50 yrs+ ago I'm 61 n we usually frost with butter cream frosting..we always use real butter....I still make in fact I was going make few days ago but was out of few things. I have a problem with eating cookie dough!!!
Hello Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown. Thanks for sharing . The recipe for your tea cake cookies . I had to laugh . Not at anyting you done . True story a friend of mine . Came to stay the weekend with me . Both teenagers I asked my Mother . If I could make her tea cake cookies . Made up several batches of them . Still had a bunch of dough left . Sharon said lay the rest of the dough . On a cookie sheet . The dough blew up in the oven . I turned the oven off . Didn't say any thing to my Mother . She come in the house opend the oven . Look she gave me I knew I was in trouble . My poor Mother scraped and clean that oven for hour's . My friend went home the next day . And I sure got a load of my Mothers mouth . I was grounded for two weeks . I lost my Mother's recipe . I'm going to keep your recipe . Both Of You Have A Blessed Weekend .
He had that same look that my husband gets when I make cookies. Looks like a little boy anticipating a delicious treat. You can’t beat tea cakes. My Daddy loved them so much. Y’all stay warm and cozy!
My Pastor & his wife prepare tea cakes and fruit bags (orange, apple, nuts & candy) every Christmas Eve for the congregation. A very special expression of love. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Blessings, favor and much love❤️
When my mother-in-law made hers, she rolled hers and some where round and some were square. If there were any left, she would use some in banana pudding. They were far better than vanilla wafers.
My Grandma rolled hers, too. They weren’t round like cookies and we never used the word cookie for them . They were just tea cakes . Sure wish I had her recipe but mostly she made them as after school treats for us and we were at school when she made them ❤️
I am the youngest of 10 kids, tea cakes were our favorite treats, they were the least expensive to make as well. Thank you Ms Laurie, I lost my mother in 2004 at 95 yrs of age, I never got her tea cake recipe, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you and Mr Brown.
Oh my ! I got a recipe on line from taste of home; and never made them or tasted them ! I like them alot! 😮 now I have another option! Thank you! Have a great day and Happy Easter!😊
Mr Browns favorite spoon. Can't wait to make these. My Mom use to make these. Thank you Ms. LORI! I BET YOU ALL ARE JUST KILLED FROM WORKING. Lv an Prayers to all.
I’ve not heard “laripin” in yrs…never seen it in print…the word flooded my mind with precious memories. My💗💗💗GRANDmother born 1900/died ‘96 used that word. Ty for the word to describe your Tea Cakes. I plan to bake these tomorrow. Family will ♥️ with milk!👦🏼👱🏼♀️👩🏼👨🏻💻🧑🏻 #2 batch, I’ll share with my elderly neighbors. 💗💙♥️🤗
Miss Lori, you are so blessed to have a sweetheart like Mr Brown! Those cookies look yummy! I think I can even smell 'em.....mmmmmmm.......... Love from Oregon💘
Oh I remember my grandmother making these. She cooked in a lunch room to. My Grannie made syrup cakes, but I have never found a recipe for them. She made them from scratch. They were so good. Thank you for this recipe. ✝️💟
Thank you so much! My neighbor, when I was 7 and she had to be at least 80, used to make yummy lemon tea cakes...a very fond, delicious memory for me! Thank you!
My Grandma made wonderful tea cakes. No one has been able to replicate hers. When anyone else makes it, they're just sugar cookies. These look similar. Thank you.
Dear Ms. Lori... Thank you for your wonderful inspiration and recipes that you share I have only been watching you for a couple of months and have enjoyed you and Mr. Brown so much. If you do order anymore of your other cookbook I would love to buy it for me and possibly order some for my friends. I know this is from a year ago... So I do not know where you are in the process of them. Also thank you for mentioning Emeralds tabletop oven. Bought one for myself at Christmas and now I am excited to open it and make this my first recipe in it. I truly do appreciate you both and your chanel. Kimberly
Thank you for taking me back to rainy days in my Mother’s cozy kitchen with my coloring book and the smell of tea cakes in the oven. Blessed days and memories. You are the best. God be with you.
Can’t wait to make! I love baking 6 cookies at a time in my little Emerial 360 Toaster oven. (Love it!) The rest are formed and frozen between layers of parchment. Bring out as needed and baked from frozen state. This keeps me from plowing down the whole batch in one day. 🤪 Thank you again!
My Aunt Esther used to make these way back yonder. Her's were big and had flour on top. They were so good. God bless her.🙏❤ Sure do love you and Mr Browns videos. Thank you ma'am for sharing
Love you and your tea cakes. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes to you and Mr Brown and to all your loyal viewers, from all the way from Australia 🙏🦘💕🇦🇺Fiona x
Thank you Ms. Lori! My husband talks about the old fashioned tea cakes he used to eat when he was younger. I will be making these tomorrow! Hugs from south Alabama!
I so agree with your statement about your grandmother always cooking from scratch. I sat here and thought, could my grandmother have followed a recipe like we do these days? It was always a handful of this, two handfuls, a smidgen, just a bit. Yet she taught me so much about baking and cooking. I've been going thru your recipes searching for what I can use for that box of goodies to my grandson. I figure these will pack well. I love what you read to us. Especially the part about before the war, I'm assuming the civil war. Now don't you think a bunch of young service men will enjoy that story. I'm going to sit and type what you read and print it to add to his box of these tea cakes.
Tea Cakes in England are a light, flat sweet, bread bun, containing dried fruits such as currants, sultanas, and orange peel. After baking we slice them across the centre, width ways, then toast them and eat them with lots of butter spread on them. Yum!!
Old fashioned tea cake cookies, takes this 73 year old child so far back to early childhood days when these cookies were a real treat . Thank you for sharing. I'm tempted to try them myself. God bless.
Love your recipes. I love all the old recipes. I have some old family recipes and this remind me of some I have. My favorite is my great grandmother’s recipe for fig cake. Love 💕 you Lori.
@@apiecemaker1163 Happy to share! I have so many that I just grabbed a few off the shelf. Wild in the Kitchen (Will Jones - copyright 1961) - I love it because it reads like recipes in a storybook & Will has a great sense of humor/practicality. Helen Corbitt's Cookbook - copyright 1957 - Helen is more fashionable/proper but still lots of great history and personal experiences in this one. Around the Southern Table - copyright 1991 by Sarah Belk - great food history! The Texas Cookbook - copyright 1965 Mary Faulk Koock - she isolates cities/areas recipes specific to each area. Enjoy!
@@MaN-pw1bn OMGoodness what a treasure! Thank you so much for your kindness. It touched my heart on this restless night. I’ll definitely be looking these up.
Oh I’d love a cookbook from you. Even the older one. How can I search for one? Please let me know if you have any more. Thank you so much for your videos. My mom worked for years as a cafeteria employee and loved her job. She kept money in her pocket and paid for the kids food who didn’t have enough money for their food. ❤
My Son & 1 daughter live in Bryant, but I have a granddaughter that lives in Clarksville, Ar. My later mother in law was from Alabama and she taught me southern cooking & baking. She was the best. M mother & I were from Germany & from her & my German family I was taught German baking & cooking. My father was first generation American his parents were from Poland. My grandparents passed when I was young. My father was ten years older than my mother and was 32 when I was born. So his sisters & he taught me Polish cooking & baking. While living in Europe I traveled & learned many old world recipes. I was a History Major & one thing I loved is following recipes along with settlers across this country. Thank you so much for sharing.
@janburnett4311 AND @ambrosemclaren145---If you go to the INFO about this video, there is a section where there are #HASHTAGS. Click the word MORE. That will bring you to a section that provides INFO for this video. In the 2nd section (I believe), there are MORE #HASHTAGS. After the last # (whipperwillholler), it contains the ACTUAL RECIPE! It states 1 CUP of oil.
My Mom told me that when she was growing up, she couldn't wait to get home from school every evening to eat one of her Mom's tea cakes. They were poor, living in the mountains of Kentucky. My Papaw worked in the coal mines to provide for six children. I'm sure my grandmother only had the basics to make tea cakes with, but my Mom always looked forward to her treat!
Hi Miss Lori. When my sisters and I were young we wanted to make snickerdoodles but we didn’t have cinnamon or nutmeg. So we skimmed our Momma’s really old cookbook and found a recipe for a soft cookie and it called for ground mace. We had no idea how that recipe would follow us into our adulthood. Our cookie recipe reminds me of your tea cake cookies. Yours look so delicious!
My aunt gave me her recipe back in the 80's. She always brought her tea cakes to our family reunions. I enjoy making these and yes they're great with coffee 😊
We love you too so much! These cookies are so yummy my mom used to make them all the time! I want one of your old cookbooks so bad but I missed out on it just make sure that one of the new ones comes my way! It gives me something great to look forward to. You could write a book on how to clean your toenails and I swear I would buy it LOL 🙄
@@WhippoorwillHoller Me too! I am still wishing for a copy of the first cookbook as well as the one you are working on now. Please, please do a 6th printing. It is a delight watching your show.
Oh my goodness, I have this recipe a friend of mine gave it to me years ago, I is my husband and my kids favorite sugar cookies, I usually only make them at Christmas. I love them, this year at Christmas (I am cutting back on oil) I used a half of a stick of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of the oil. It makes them a little more dense and more cake like. I also roll the dough the size of a walnut then roll in a bowl of sugar, flatten on cookie sheet, back . I love your peanut butter bars and have made them a lot, they don't stay around to long! Thank you for your video's and your time to share with us, your cookies look fantastic.
Ohhhh my I have memories of my bonus grandmother making tea cakes and haven’t known or heard anyone mention them. I have looked for recipes but never made. Thanks for stirring up that memory😝💜
Miss Lori, I love watching your videos and I do plan on making some of your recipes because I look so good and delicious. I hope that you have a wonderful blessed day.
I’ve always wondered about the tea cakes I’m so happy to see that you made them, they look delicious. I love the old home recipes, I learned all my cooking ways from my mama and I’m so glad that I cared enough to listen to her & learn from her. I can’t wait til your cookbook is completed, 🙂 Love you guys.
My mom used to make these all the time but sadly she passed away suddenly at the age of 54 and she never wrote the recipe down. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I can now make them myself.
This is a little different from my mother-in-law’s recipe. I used to make them at Christmas every year. Recently a friend visited us. One of the things he remembered from 40 years ago was my tea cakes. I made a batch for him (my hubby was happy about that). He was so happy!
My Mama had the best tea cake recipe and now I have it and I've given it to my nieces. They remember when grandma made her tea cakes but never knew how to make them. Now they do. I love the memories of my mom.
Thank you Ms Lori for sharing your tea cake cookie recipe. I will appreciate your recipe. I really hope I get to purchase one of your cookbooks I really wanted one of the old ones but didn't get to get one I came in late finding out about it. Hopefully my tea cakes will turn out like yours😁
It doesn’t get any better than this. I have watched this several times, not because I cannot remember where my recipe is but because this video makes me happy. Thank you, Judy
Oh my goodness when I heard you say they were larrupin I went back in time. My mother used to say that all the time when she thought something was very delicious. I will have to try this recipe for sure. Thank you!
My Mama always talked about my Granny’s tea cakes and how much she loved them growing up. Mama didn’t have the recipe nor did any of her sisters. She said the cookies were crispy on the edges and like cake in the middle. I’m going to try these. I’ll have them with coffee on the porch and think of her. ❤️
HELLO SWEET MS LORI! HAVE ENJOYED THIS VIDEO TODAY AND GOOD LORD WILLING I WILL MAKE THESE SOON! LOVE AND PRAYERS ❤❤❤LINDA FROM VA.🎉🎉😊
My mama makes fabulous tea cakes! My daddy eats ‘em as fast as they come out of the oven!
This reminded me of the line from To Kill a Mockingbird:
Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum.
This brings back a lot of memories of my mom
After watching this, I got so 'homesick' for the late Miss Phyllis (Stokes) and Mr. (Dr.) Bucky and her videos showing her struggle to find a tea cake just like his grandmother's and how a viewer finally sent a recipe that was more similar to his memory. Maybe you were a viewer of hers, Lori? Her son has done a lovely job keeping her channel going and helping her ministry. Between your recipe and hers you've got me longing to try a batch of these.
Phyllis is the one who got me back in the kitchen after years. I surely do miss her, as well. The Colonel is doing a great job❤
I think of Ms. Phyllis, and Mr. Bucky quite frequently with great affection. Gone too soon.🙏
Phyllis Stokes was the first channel I watched on TH-cam. She was such a great inspiration. She got me interested in more cooking and baking. Gone too soon.
What a joy Miss Phyllis was. My grandchildren love making those tea cookies! It was a gal named Patti that sent Miss Phyllis the recipe. Mr Bucky, after tasting it, looked up towards heaven and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. These are better than yours." It was priceless!

May I ask you a question? How long can you keep a ham bone in the fridge before you make broth out of it? TIA
My Mother’s favorite cookies and my Granny spoiled Mother 🥰
Ms Brown, I am a gal in my 60s and am so glad you have a great recipe for Tea Cakes!?? I can't wait to make some, however I didn't get how much oil or cream of tarter. Once again THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Love watching you calm demeanor while cooking
I can't wait for your cookbook! I love watching the sweetness between you and Mr. Brown. Simply precious and so refreshing.😀

I will try this recipe and have my granddaughter try them. She's taking culinary art . Older recipes can taste as good as the new ones.
even better sometimes. : )

“Plowing down” LOL….relatable😂
I live alone, this is a great tip ❣️
I love my 360, too. I also freeze cookies and bake a few at a time
Thank you for the great idea
We have the same oven and do the same with cookies! I make a batch and freeze the dough/batter.
My Aunt Esther used to make these way back yonder. Her's were big and had flour on top.
They were so good. God bless her.🙏❤ Sure do love you and Mr Browns videos. Thank you ma'am for sharing
DELICIOUS! Old school tea cakes are the best✨😋
Thank You Ms. Lori for this Tea Cake recipe. Mr. Brown has a look of a very happy kid. He is blessed with a wonderful wife.
My husband is always talking about his grandmothers teacake cookies. I can’t wait to surprise him with this recipe. ❤
I love your kitchen and l love your voice, you remind of my grandma. l always had my 👃 nose stuck in anything
she would cook💕💕💕
I have never had tea cakes, they look and sound delicious, thank you for sharing the recipe and looking forward to your new cookbook!
Love you and your tea cakes. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes to you and Mr Brown and to all your loyal viewers, from all the way from Australia 🙏🦘💕🇦🇺Fiona x
Powder Sugar has Corn Starch in it and that helps the cookies brown and as you stated crisp up.
God bless you and Mr. Brown. I love you too!
Thanks so much for the recipe! ❤️

Tea Cakes in England are a light, flat sweet, bread bun, containing dried fruits such as currants, sultanas, and orange peel. After baking we slice them across the centre, width ways, then toast them and eat them with lots of butter spread on them. Yum!!
With a cup of tea !!!
@@yvonnegillman5095 yeeesss!!
Old fashioned tea cake cookies, takes this 73 year old child so far back to early childhood days when these cookies were a real treat . Thank you for sharing. I'm tempted to try them myself. God bless.
I've been looking for a tea cake recipe for 35+ years! Those look like the ones I had when I was a child. 💕
Love your recipes. I love all the old recipes. I have some old family recipes and this remind me of some I have. My favorite is my great grandmother’s recipe for fig cake. Love 💕 you Lori.
Thanks for this recipe! I'm a tea drinker and cannot wait to make these💗
I am now!
GOD BLESS YOU AND MR BROWN. Thank you for helping us to make this wonderful tea cake.
Can not wait to make these! Thank-you Miss Lori! ❤
I so enjoyed watching you make these. My great grandmother would always have a platter of these cookies on her dinning buffet. I just love you.
Love it!!! I like to buy old cookbooks with stories in them about the food and traditions - Great stuff!
Can you give us a few titles and authors of your favorite? I would love those also.
@@apiecemaker1163 Happy to share! I have so many that I just grabbed a few off the shelf. Wild in the Kitchen (Will Jones - copyright 1961) - I love it because it reads like recipes in a storybook & Will has a great sense of humor/practicality. Helen Corbitt's Cookbook - copyright 1957 - Helen is more fashionable/proper but still lots of great history and personal experiences in this one. Around the Southern Table - copyright 1991 by Sarah Belk - great food history! The Texas Cookbook - copyright 1965 Mary Faulk Koock - she isolates cities/areas recipes specific to each area. Enjoy!
@@MaN-pw1bn OMGoodness what a treasure! Thank you so much for your kindness. It touched my heart on this restless night. I’ll definitely be looking these up.
I love Tea Cake cookies. ❤
Oh I’d love a cookbook from you. Even the older one. How can I search for one? Please let me know if you have any more. Thank you so much for your videos. My mom worked for years as a cafeteria employee and loved her job. She kept money in her pocket and paid for the kids food who didn’t have enough money for their food. ❤
My Son & 1 daughter live in Bryant, but I have a granddaughter that lives in Clarksville, Ar. My later mother in law was from Alabama and she taught me southern cooking & baking. She was the best. M mother & I were from Germany & from her & my German family I was taught German baking & cooking. My father was first generation American his parents were from Poland. My grandparents passed when I was young. My father was ten years older than my mother and was 32 when I was born. So his sisters & he taught me Polish cooking & baking. While living in Europe I traveled & learned many old world recipes. I was a History Major & one thing I loved is following recipes along with settlers across this country. Thank you so much for sharing.
They look just like the ones my grandma made and I’ve wished for a recipe!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!! ❣️❣️❣️
How much oil
1 cup oil.
It appeared to be about a 1/4 cup but an amount was not stated.
@janburnett4311 AND @ambrosemclaren145---If you go to the INFO about this video, there is a section where there are #HASHTAGS. Click the word MORE. That will bring you to a section that provides INFO for this video. In the 2nd section (I believe), there are MORE #HASHTAGS. After the last # (whipperwillholler), it contains the ACTUAL RECIPE! It states 1 CUP of oil.
@@cynthiadodge3089 Thanks.
My Mom told me that when she was growing up, she couldn't wait to get home from school every evening to eat one of her Mom's tea cakes. They were poor, living in the mountains of Kentucky. My Papaw worked in the coal mines to provide for six children. I'm sure my grandmother only had the basics to make tea cakes with, but my Mom always looked forward to her treat!
Hi Miss Lori. When my sisters and I were young we wanted to make snickerdoodles but we didn’t have cinnamon or nutmeg. So we skimmed our Momma’s really old cookbook and found a recipe for a soft cookie and it called for ground mace. We had no idea how that recipe would follow us into our adulthood. Our cookie recipe reminds me of your tea cake cookies. Yours look so delicious!
My aunt gave me her recipe back in the 80's. She always brought her tea cakes to our family reunions. I enjoy making these and yes they're great with coffee 😊
Those looked delicious Ms. Lori. I am making tea cakes this weekend. Have a good weekend. 💞
My grandma made her teacakes this way I think. Looks just like hers they were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. God bless
We love you too so much! These cookies are so yummy my mom used to make them all the time! I want one of your old cookbooks so bad but I missed out on it just make sure that one of the new ones comes my way! It gives me something great to look forward to. You could write a book on how to clean your toenails and I swear I would buy it LOL 🙄
Funny
@@WhippoorwillHoller Me too! I am still wishing for a copy of the first cookbook as well as the one you are working on now. Please, please do a 6th printing. It is a delight watching your show.
Oh my goodness, I have this recipe a friend of mine gave it to me years ago, I is my husband and my kids favorite sugar cookies, I usually only make them at Christmas. I love them, this year at Christmas (I am cutting back on oil) I used a half of a stick of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of the oil. It makes them a little more dense and more cake like. I also roll the dough the size of a walnut then roll in a bowl of sugar, flatten on cookie sheet, back . I love your peanut butter bars and have made them a lot, they don't stay around to long! Thank you for your video's and your time to share with us, your cookies look fantastic.
Ohhhh my I have memories of my bonus grandmother making tea cakes and haven’t known or heard anyone mention them. I have looked for recipes but never made. Thanks for stirring up that memory😝💜
Miss Lori, I love watching your videos and I do plan on making some of your recipes because I look so good and delicious. I hope that you have a wonderful blessed day.
Thank you so much for this recipe! My mama and I were literally just talking about those good teacakes from days of old. I can't wait to make these! ❤
Just love y’all. I am a grandmother and I could live y’all for sure
My grandma used to make tea cakes and she would usually put nutmeg in the batter. I need to make some!
I missed your first cookbook. I do not want to miss your next one. 😊
My Dad loved these cookies. I’m for sure going to try this!
Meeee too
Can’t wait to try!
I’ve always wondered about the tea cakes I’m so happy to see that you made them, they look delicious. I love the old home recipes, I learned all my cooking ways from my mama and I’m so glad that I cared enough to listen to her & learn from her. I can’t wait til your cookbook is completed, 🙂 Love you guys.
My mom used to make these all the time but sadly she passed away suddenly at the age of 54 and she never wrote the recipe down. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I can now make them myself.
This is a little different from my mother-in-law’s recipe. I used to make them at Christmas every year. Recently a friend visited us. One of the things he remembered from 40 years ago was my tea cakes. I made a batch for him (my hubby was happy about that). He was so happy!
My Mama had the best tea cake recipe and now I have it and I've given it to my nieces. They remember when grandma made her tea cakes but never knew how to make them. Now they do. I love the memories of my mom.
Thank you Ms Lori for sharing your tea cake cookie recipe. I will appreciate your recipe.
I really hope I get to purchase one of your cookbooks I really wanted one of the old ones but didn't get to get one I came in late finding out about it. Hopefully my tea cakes will turn out like yours😁
I missed out on her first cookbook too! :(.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. I love to be with you in yours .love y'all
Thanks so much
They look like what we called brown edged cookies. Nice and crisp and brown on the edges. So good!
It doesn’t get any better than this. I have watched this several times, not because I cannot remember where my recipe is but because this video makes me happy. Thank you, Judy
Oh my goodness when I heard you say they were larrupin I went back in time. My mother used to say that all the time when she thought something was very delicious. I will have to try this recipe for sure. Thank you!
My Mama always talked about my Granny’s tea cakes and how much she loved them growing up. Mama didn’t have the recipe nor did any of her sisters. She said the cookies were crispy on the edges and like cake in the middle. I’m going to try these. I’ll have them with coffee on the porch and think of her. ❤️
