You’re right about memories if our grandmothers are with them in their kitchens! Blackberry cobbler and yeast rolls for me!

[@evelynphillips5108]

My aunt made the best and I mean the best tea cakes ever. She would sell them for the church and surrounding areas. Folks would go crazy for her tea cakes and she didn't use White Lily or King Arthur flour and she didn't use any glaze or frosting for them the were just that good all by themselves. She's deceased now but we have her famous tea cake recipe along with many others and we cherish her memories.

[@a.a.3555]

Would you share her recipe with us?

[@gageiger]

I grew up in Alberta, Canada. I hardly knew my one Grandmother and spent very little time cooking with my other English Gram I actualy got to know her better in my later teens. We would often have tea and cookies together. I wish I would have had a recipe like this. It seems like it would have been a great compliment with our cuppas! Thx for the recipe and for bringing back good memories.

[@tdavis9977]

Made these today. They are delicious. My mom used to make them when we were children. Took me back to those special days. Thank you for sharing.

[@debbiedigilormo9669]

These look great!!!

[@oceanhome039]

Great job on choosing the blouse Chris. It fits beautifully and it becomes your Leading Lady. 💕🇨🇦

[@Rollwithit699]

What an excellent mixer! Tammy looks very healthy. 👍

[@josephineerrichetto8588]

I appreciate the info on the white winter wheat.

[@gloriacambridge6968]

Tammy you looking good, and these cookies put me in the mind of my grandma God Bless her. 👍🏾🙏🏽😍

[@maggieblueskies2100]

Yes. You look bright and beautiful.❤

[@deeeddington6108]

I love tea cakes. Yours is a lighter batter than the ones I’ve seen. I’m going to give it a try. I also want to say I love your realness in the kitchen. Using your hands and even eating the leftover batter from the beater. That’s something Mother would give us when she baked. I too think it’s the best part of baking. Thanks for you being yourself. Also, mother or others that baked tea cakes put an icing on them. We were just plain tea cake eaters. Lol😅

[@lizboudreaux6811]

I love all cookies but Tea Cakes are my favorite.

[@jerriewyatt905]

Me too.. because they’re not too sweet.. just right ..

[@debraknott729]

I was very confused for a minute, in the UK our teacakes are a yeasted dough with dried fruit, we split them, toast them and smother them with butter, yum! 🤤🤤

[@drdoan993]

i remember them fondly from time spent in Canada. care to share your recipe? with ingredients, i can figure the technique.

[@belindadunne4312]

You look like sunshine,🌞 Tammy. Thanks for sharing your Maw Maw's recipe. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@soffiaaryati712]

They sure look good tq fr sharing

[@IAMHIS-ep6vg]

Chocolate gravy made with flour. Had it on biscuits, toast, pancakes & waffles

[@gloriacambridge6968]

I love Tea cakes cookies too

[@SSain1957]

Hi I Love watching your channel. I've made tea cakes for many years. Better and cheaper than store bought! My boys even loved them.

[@731paula]

The old recipes call for shortening. Just like I remember!

[@user-qi4ks2cp3d]

Those look delicious😋😋😋

[@jenniferjensen8538]

Ooh! These look yummy! I love things that aren't super sweet. These would be great with a little almond extract along with vanilla! ❤ Thank you for sharing your Maw Maw's recipe!

[@cblocker3149]

That’s exactly my thought. Add Pecans to the Almond and you’ll have Pecan Sandies! 😌

[@MelissaMounts]

Girl you look so good! You lost weight didn’t you

[@Cerceify]

I lost all my grandmothers' recipes when my house burned down. No one else in the family has the recipes! I'll try these for sure.

[@melanierodgers4264]

Tammy, your white countertops show off the products you are using very well. And the food! Great contrast for everything, especially when cooking

[@annaleem5390]

My Momma and Grandma made them in their bread bowls. I’d know Momma was making tea cakes when I saw eggs, sugar and vanilla sitting out with her bowl and lard. She made them with her hands and pressed them with a fork making a cute design. My Momma never made chocolate gravy but she’d make chocolate sauce but not for her tea cakes. Hello from Dallas Georgia.

[@Anita-Hall89]

Another recipe for me to try. Thank you!!

[@virginiamesko6369]

Tammy, you look like you have lost a lot of weight.

[@pollyjordan872]

Please share, if you can, how you have lost so much weight. You look great !!! ♥️

[@barbaratankersley7117]

Yes she sur has lost a lot

[@truthseeker243]

And getting younger not older too.

[@nancybarnett2832]

She said a while ago that she was on Ozempic.

[@1jamdaful]

Is she diabetic? Or is she another taking from a diabetic because she can’t control her eating habits?? Coming from a diabetic II person. Let her go off her crutch and she’ll gain it all back! 😂

[@reeree121]

Mama used flour, sugar, canned milk, cocoa, butter and vanilla. On the plate more butter (actually oleo) sopped it up with biscuits. We just called it Soppen chocolate.

[@Rhondascountrykitchen]

@reeree121 we call it that too 😊

[@suzanneavila2333]

All my grandparents were dead before I was born. Kids at school treased me so I LOVE hearing about yours 💚🤍🩵💚🤍🩵💋💋💋

[@mrs.rucker2448]

I live in CA and got the White Lily because it’s what you always use (we have Gold Medal). I had to order through Amazon and it was definitely more expensive. I have to say it does an amazing job. I can absolutely tell the difference so now I use it for all my biscuits and dredging for frying. Thank you so much for introducing me to it!

[@diannedutton6127]

We love teacakes too. Enjoyed

[@user-op9nd5qh7x]

[@joanndeland7969]

I love your recipe for the tea cake s

[@patriciahamer419]

I can’t wait to make these tea cakes…I know I’ll love them…I live up north so thank you for the tip on King Arthur self rising flour (I can get that) because I’ve always been sad I can’t get white Lilly!!! Thanks again ❤️✌️😊

[@1tigerbee]

I love tea cakes

[@sharallmelton643]

Hi Tammie I’m so thankful for this recipe, it seems so simple I’m like you l love them too. It reminded me of my childhood. My Mom never made cookies, but she loved baking cakes and Pies. There was an old lady who Was a friend of my Mom and she used to make them all the time.She used to roll hers out and I was the cutter I was about 4 yrs. Old but I remember it so well she loved me and l loved her, all of her sons were grown men she loved having me over and l loved being there. My Mom Used to tell her you are spoiling that boy to death. She’d send me home with a bunch of Tea Cakes. I am sort of tearing up speaking about this because it means a lot to me, that was one of the happiest times I could think of Thank You for giving me back those happy memories I’m almost 70 yrs. Old now but those Happy memories remain GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤YALL

[@lonaphillips9617]

[@ramonadooley2628]

Definitely want to make these . I spent alot of time in the kitchen with my Maw Maw and helped her decorate cakes and bake . Alot of good memories . You look gorgeous in those colors Ms Tammy . Love you guys ❤️

[@ec5150]

We never had chocolate gravy and I'm from Georgia! My Granny always made tea cakes though. We each got a bread bag full to take home. Mine were browned. I love them that way too!

[@enjoy7024]

I love watching you cook. You're like a new treat I discovered. You have the perfect setup for cooking and baking and you use the most interesting tools, for eg. those measuring cup spoons.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

I only had one grandmother and she was the sweetest person. Until I was 5, we lived in the upper portion of their duplex, my grandparents lived downstairs. I was there all the time as you may well imagine. Every time I visited, Grandma made me tea in her Lipton’s teapot. It was gold, and she gave me a piece of fresh bread with butter and sugar sprinkled on top. I loved it. I miss being a child and the beautiful golden days. It was such a wonderful happy, carefree time. I was very fortunate.

[@lildebra7941]

Yum would love to try the lemon ones

[@maewoodbury7824]

Teacakes are delicious, and love the earrings and shirt combination.

[@jolee3688]

My maternal grandmother, my mom and my mother in law made tea cakes, like yours. But they also made them sometime with sugar cane molasses. They tasted so very good. ( Oh and they made chocolate gravy with flour which was made to go over biscuits )

[@karensweet6530]

I grew up on my Mama's Tea Cakes! I still make them today! At least 3 times a month! I make a huge batch of them because the Kids, Grandkids, and Great Grandbabies have to have them! Yes, I let mine Brown real good because that crust enhances the Vanilla so much! I also add a little more Vanilla to mine and Sugar because I make bigger batches! They're not Sweet but once you tasted them, you won't want another cookie! They are so good with a hot Cup of Coffee in the mornings! Mmm! Mama always made them up like Biscuits and rolled them out with her hands! Of course, they weren't big like Biscuits but she could whip up a huge batch in no time! I still have about 7 left that I made Memorial Day Weekend! That was our Dessert! Didn't need nothing else! I baked some a little darker Brown than usual and let them cool good and made all the little kids some Ice Cream Tea Cakes! Yes, I ate a couple myself! So good! Lol.

[@susansks1106]

Love Crisco and always have

[@YaYaPaBla]

Proud of Chris, he got you a beautiful blouse. I love the colors. Pretty on you.

[@rinap6283]

Your blouse is so beautiful, and the earrings you were gifted by your daughter is a perfect match. The cookies look's yummy

[@nikkilovesrocks]

The winter wheat refers to the time of year the wheat berries bloom. YES! If you feel the white winter wheat in comparison to the Gold Medal Brand All purpose it will be noticeably softer and less grainy. It makes for the BEST cakes! Once you use it you'll never waste your time making a dense cake again! It makes a 100% difference! I get so many great baking essentials at thrift stores! So many!!!

[@KSA4615]

Who makes your mixer?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I have it on collardvalleycooks.com so you can check it out. It is a Bosch

[@lisatuders9186]

I did enjoy very much watching this video. I have actually never had a tea cake but now I have a recipe 😊!!! I am not a big cookie eater but I do sometimes have a couple with my morning coffee and these sound like a good breakfast cookie to me. And I just want to say how pretty you look here!! Those colors are so nice and I love the top and earrings and the hair band. Just adorable. You're beautiful inside and out and I love watching you cook 😊❤
