Hello, I am new to Baking Forum. I have a lot to learn and willing to learn. One question I have is my mom when we were growing up made what we called tee-cakes. Of course she made them from scratch and unfortunate no one seems to know the recipe. As a child to busy to want to watch and learn. So regret. If anyone has a recipe for tee-cakes please let me know. looking forward to learning a lot and giving a lot.

Welcome to the forum Edna! Great to have you here 
What were the tee-cakes like? In the UK we have something called 'tea cakes' but they are more of a sweet bread bun with dried fruit in them. There are also chocolate tea cakes which are completely different - a biscuit topped with marshmallow, all covered in chocolate.

These were made with homemade cane syrup. They were like a sweet bread also. No dried fruit in tea-cakes. As kids we called them tee cakes. Why I don't know I just know they were good. If you have the recipe for your tea-cakes I would love to try them.

This is a good recipe, but it doesn't involve sugar syrup: http://paulhollywood.com/recipes/teacakes/
