Family, here's the old fashioned tea cakes recipe I got from Ms. Crawford many years ago. In this video I show you how to make tea cakes two ways.

2 sticks of unsalted butter at room temperature (16 tablespoons of butter)
3 extra-large or jumbo eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups of sugar
4 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
Nutmeg to taste (I use 1 teaspoon of fresh nutmeg)


Instructions:

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl, and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar together using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium high or hand mixer for 5 minutes.
Scrape the bowl after 5 minutes and beat 1 additional minute.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add the extracts and mix well.

With the mixer on the slowest speed, add 1/3 of the flour mixture
add 1/2 of the buttermilk, and mix gently just to combine.
Repeat this process 2 times, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

Remove from mixer, shape into a rectangle, log or round disk(depending on how you will cut them) and wrap in plastic wrap.

Chill for at least one hour to overnight. You can chill overnight.
If chilled overnight remove from the fridge 5 minutes before rolling out.



Traditional Way:

Line baking sheet with parchment paper or you spray the pan or use a silicon mat.

Cut from log and bake in preheated 350F oven for 10-12 minutes




Another way if you are rolling and cutting them out:


Pre heat oven to 400F

Line baking sheet with parchment paper or you cn spray the pan or use a silicon mat.

Roll out dough to 1/8th - 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.

Cut using a 3-3 1/2-inch cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, jelly jar, or drinking glass.

Work with half the dough at a time keeping the rest of the dough refrigerated.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. The tea cakes will look pale on top with slight browning on the edges.

Remove from oven and allow to rest on cookie sheet for 1 minute.

Move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Store in airtight container once cooled.

Note: Teacakes can be frozen
