English Teacakes

[@mitni4579]

Thank you. My English grandmother always made these for us. Her father was a baker in Yorkshire. I’ve been looking for a good recipe.

[@regular-joe]

Been wondering for years about these, thanks Mr. Paul! Sidenote: I'm always bemused by the Brits who are confused that American "coffee cake" has no coffee in it, without realizing that English "teacakes" have no tea in them.😏

Hi Heather, No, sticky buns were Hot Cross Buns without the cross, They were a more spicy dough than teacakes and much smaller. We made both in the bakery for 60 years.

[@judith4985]

Dear Mr. Paul, I decided to make some Yorkshire Tea Cakes today. They are lovely! Baked up perfectly, and so nice and light! They are absolutely delicious toasted and slathered with butter. A ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recipe for sure! ❤️🙏🏻 and Best Wishes! Judith 😊

Thanks for the mixed spice recipe as it is not easily available where I live. We use your sausage spice recipes all the time in our homemade sausages. My favourite is the Yorkshire one. We really enjoy your channel.

[@thereseprunet-brewer2192]

My French great aunt loved those buns when she was a speaker on BBC FREE FRANCE in the UK during the war. She always bought then in Paris rue de Rivoli at WH SMITH. I have seen those tea cakes a few times in 20 years in the UK at the supermarket but they disappeared from the shelves. Anyway nothing replaces the true thing. Thank you to bring our memories back and alive again.

I do appreciate your expertise and the excellent teaching of how to make these and of course all your other baked goods.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I agree, nothing like home made I say, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment too.

[@sas1uk]

Mr Paul, Perfect timing. You are one of my fav, British bakers and your recipes never fail. Can't wait to give this recipe a try and report back. Do you have any recipes for large batches, i like to make around 40 at a time as i have a small bakery. Would I just times this recipe by 5? I never know if the yeast needs the same multiplying.

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi, you can just multiply the recipe for that amount, if you are making what we term small dough mix (less than 3kg flour) there is no need to reduce the yeast, however, make sure your mixer will handle the quantity you wish to make, if you find it slows down then you will have increase the mixing time by around 10%. If you need any more info it's probably best to email me.

[@davidphillips2259]

You love doing this job , well videos, I do lolol

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I certainly do David, I did it for 50+ years in my bakery up to my retirement 11 years ago. Now I just make the videos to pass on some of the tip & tricks picked up over the years. Thanks for watching.

[@rainbowkitten8990]

Being British myself, I have never actually had one of these before! When we have tea cakes they are normally covered in chocolate, with a marshmallow filling and we serve them with a cup of tea for our supper. Going to have to try these! They look delicious. Sending lots of love to you and your family, from Rebecca 😄

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hi, perhaps I should consider giving you a few hours warning of a new video so you can rearrange your schedules!! Those gorgeous doggos are playing me something awful the past couple of days. Heavy rain for hours, dogs wanting to go out, see the rain go back to bed, the problem is they take it in turns every 15 minutes of going to the door, me getting up and as soon as I open the door, back into bed. Still I need the exercise I suppose. Nice to hear from you, stay safe, we're going back into lockdown today till further notice,

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

@@MrPaulsPantry Ha! Yes, that would be fantastic! That way we could be going to bed WITH our bakes rather than having to dream of them! Oh my. Dogs being dogs. Just like us, they have their personalities, their annoyances but we love them anyway! Sorry to hear about the lockdown, hopefully the cases clear up quite quickly and you get back to normality. Here still feels edgy even though many are getting vaccinated and the lockdown is slowly coming to an end. Weird times. But… something you have definitely helped many people through with your superb videos (and doggos). I for one am very thankful. If possible mate, when we come and visit the family down in Benalmadena we’d like to make a trip to you, and thank you in person.

[@scheilaferreira7899]

Careful, don't burn yourself :)

[@liscameijer4807]

I made those as I commented yesterday ( very yummy indeed). I’m going to make them again. I would like to make them less brown, I mean a bit paler, as they will be toasted eventually. As a professional baker you no doubt will be able to give me advice on this. My question is: do I lower the oven temperature? Or allow less cooking time? I don’t want to end up with under-cooked buns… I’m also going to make them smaller (100 gr). Does that call for a shorter cooking time? ( I cook on a gas oven with thermostat).

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Hello again Lisca, don't reduce the temperature, just shorten the baking time slightly. Test by tapping the underneath, if it sounds hollow they will be cooked through. I make mine a little smaller due to my diabetes, but in the shop the needed to look like good value for the money!

[@traceylam7691]

Hi Paul, can you make the dough the night before. Then bake them in morning? Thanks

[@MrPaulsPantry]

Yes you can Tracey but will need to keep it in the refrigerator overnight to retard the rising, otherwise it will be overproved. In the morning you will still have to form them and allow them to rise before baking. I hope this helps.

Mr. Paul, in case I don't put dry fruits as its very hot here in my country and we don't use dry fruits in summer then how to adjust weight of other ingredients

[@MrPaulsPantry]

I'm not quite sure I understand, what has the heat got to do with using sultanas, etc. I live in Spain with summer temperatures at 40º - 48ºC. plus the dried fruits are supplying the sweetness to the product.

Hi Naminder, you don't need to add anything, I have use all purpose flour many time when I was short on bread flour.
