Yumm.. I've been trying to solve a problem for quite a while and I've always come up without a solution. My Grandma lived in far Northeast England, near the Scottish border. She made a bread she called "tea cake". I have found many recipes for tea cakes, but none for the bread that Grandma called tea cake. The recipe made 2 loaves, shaped round. Had currents in them. A bit more sweet than regular bread, not near as sweet as a sweetroll. I've been searching for years for something like this. Unfortunately, when Grandma made teacake, I was too young to realize I should write the recipe down. As I got older, Grandma had forgotten the recipe. I had always wanted to find a recipe before my Dad died, but never did find the right one. Dad remembers Grandma using a milk wash on the crust before baking. Hope someone can please help me. Happy holidays to all carol ô¿ô I just read your post about scones. Yumm.. I’ve been trying to

These look fantastic. It's almost like a classic Southern biscuit recipe. In fact, looking at it again, I'm not really sure what the difference is. I think biscuits use more butter... Thanks for the recipe! Nick www.macheesmo.com I always wanted a good scone recipe! These look fantastic.

Clotted cream and homemade jam - full of calories but totally wonderful! I'll give your recipe a go!

Teacups with saucers too. I’m making these and they’ll be great but it’s the pretty china that they get served on that really does the trick. Teacups with saucers too.

I also add a little more sugar because I don't usually have clotted cream hanging around. A 1/3 cup of sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness for me. <strong>Linda</strong>, oh yes, tea cups with saucers definitely! :) edj, this is the recipe from the Tea Room I worked in.

My Mum's British and your recipe is almost identical my grandmother's recipe, the one I use all the time. The only diff is that hers has slightly more sugar. I also like mine with currants. I think I will need to make myself a batch. I got some PG Tips at a local store--no really I'm amazed too, plus we've just gotten our stuff out of storage in a friend's garage so I've got china to drink it in. Great post. Ooh lovely.
