Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Tea Cakes.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your baking sheet a light greasing to ensure those delicious treats don’t stick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar, and beat them together until the mixture is creamy and smooth—this is where the magic begins! Next, gently fold in all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and baking soda, stirring until a lovely, smooth dough forms.
Step 3
Now comes the fun part: using a spoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one so they have room to spread.
Step 4
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for 5 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye out for those delightful edges to turn a light golden brown.
Step 5
Once they’re ready, take them out and let them cool for a bit before serving.
Step 6
Enjoy the sweet aroma and the joy of sharing these treats with friends and family!.
