I remember helping my Grandmother make tea-cakes when I was real young.What was wrote down in her recipe book,which she never wrote out the full details to any of her recipes. The ingredients are
1 cup crisco
3 cups sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1tea spoon soda
1tea spoon vanilla
5 cups all pourpose flour
4 eggs
Cream lard and sugar
Add eggs
Sift and add flour
Dissolve soda in milk then add then add vanilla
That was all I had to go on, I never remembered rolling them out. But that was 40 years ago too. I tried to make these the other night just dropping a spoonfull on a sheet pan. They came out close but raw almost in the middle,when edges were brown.
After reading your recipe it all came back to me. Thanks much Paula Deen,your a great inspiration. And hopefully will have alot more of these old southern favorites to share.
Oh the last part of the recipe was bake at 350 for 9-12 min.
Next I have to try and figure out her carmel icing recipe.

Very Good! Extremely close to the ones I use to eat as a little girl. Good job Paula. My hubby suggested i use a touch of nutmeg though.
