A bunch o' links

I've been collecting links. . . . finally figured I'd post 'em all instead of leaving them in an email. . . . . with the idea that at some point I'll use them / consolidate them / do something with 'em. . . . .

Tea Cakes

A few tea cake (tea cookie) recipes. . . . basically sugar cookies, typically served with tea.  Possibly served with jam or dipped in chocolate.


Old Fashioned 'Tea Cakes'
A handwritten recipe from my mother. . . maybe from her grandmother?
3 cups (360 g) flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanila
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2/3 teaspoon soda
1/4 cups milk

Cream shortening and sugar, then add egg.  Combine dry ingredients, then add to other ingredients.  Roll out and cut.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until brown.

Another recipe. . .based on a recipe on Epicurious.com

Sugar Cookies ("Tea Cakes")
2 1/2 cups (300 g) self-rising flour
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 - 3 tablespoons milk

Cream butter, then add eggs and vanilla then flour.  Add milk to make more of a batter and less of a dough.  Drop by teaspoons until cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes.

Alternately, skip the milk and roll out the dough and cut out the cookies.
