@nikki.mov: Let’s remember, preserve and celebrate the southern tea cake! #americanhistory #BlackHistory #tiktokfood #BakeWithMe INGREDIENTS 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 stick butter (softened) 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 2 tsp pure vanilla extract Nutmeg to taste (I just sprinkled until I was bored lol) INSTRUCTIONS 1. Add the flour, salt and baking soda to a bowl and mix thoroughly 2. In a separate bowl (or in your stand mixer if you have one) add the softened butter and sugar. Mix vigorously by hand or set your stand mixer to around 8 or 9. Mix until it’s well combined and smooth. 3. Beat in the egg. 4. Beat in the nutmeg. 5. Beat in the vanilla. Make sure it’s all thoroughly combined. 6. Gradually add the flour mixture to your wet mixture and combine. I set my stand mixer to around 3 for this step. 7. Once the dough is completely mixed and smooth, remove it from the bowl, put it in a container or plastic bag that can be tightly closed. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the dough gets firm. 8. Preheat your oven to 325. 9. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll it into little smooth balls. 10. Press your finger into each dough ball. 11. Bake for 10 minutes or until dough is set. 12. Serve and enjoy!

My granny made Tea cakes growing up and sold them to her church friends. She passed away in 2020 and I never got the recipe. This reminded me of her. Thank you!

My mom always reminisces about her mom's tea cakes. Mom didn't get the recipe but she makes them sound so good. 😩

My great grandmother made tea cakes & kept them in her apron. Knowing they weren’t allowed to have them helps me understand a lot of stories I heard about her. She was a bit of a rebel.

My grandmama and her sisters left the south and brought all the south cooking habits and culture with them here to Michigan and we (their grands and great grands) keep it rolling 🥰

My grandma used to send boxes of tea cakes for christmas and my birthday. I haven’t had them in years and can still taste them. She used nutmeg or lemon. I might make some this holiday season.

This must be why my grandfather from Mississippi calls every cookie a tea cake. Glad I learned something new 😌

We have been trying to recreate my Grandma’s tea cakes since she passed away in 1962! Thank you for sharing this story. 🥰 I believe I’ve been inspired to put on the apron and join the quest. ❤️‍🩹💝
