These tea cakes can be eaten with Tea or coffee or as a snack or with a meal. They can be made as big or as small as you like.
These are like a cross between a biscuit, cookie, and cake. They aren't really sweet tasting but not bland like a biscuit either,, These are light bodied, and buttery, with a hint of nutmeg!
