 All right old-fashioned teacakes. There's nothing better to me than an old-fashioned teacake Hey y'all, it's Tammy with Collard Valley Cooks today. We're gonna make mama's teacakes We're making a half recipe so we don't have to use a lot of flour today So I'm gonna start out with a half cup of shortening and a half cup of sugar Plus one more eighth cup And we're gonna blend this together Now if you're on Facebook, I'm gonna give you a tip if you're on Facebook and you don't hit like or make a comment Pretty often then you're gonna quit seeing our feed and you're gonna think I'm not cooking anymore But when I in fact am I Wish everybody would just start hitting that like button just so that you would see our feed I mean we don't get paid extra or anything like that I just want you to be able to know that I'm cooking when I'm cooking. Okay So make sure you continue to do that Because Facebook only shows you On your wall what you're actively They only show you what you actually interact with so if you never if you just watch and you never You know comment or hit the like button Then you're going to quit getting our feed and a lot of people quit getting our feed And they just think we've quit cooking but we haven't and I know y'all probably get tired of Facebook people telling you that but it really is true. Okay Let's get these in the oven now I like when I make tea cakes For them to be brown around the edges because that's what gives them that good toasted Flavor from the flour so make sure that you cook them long enough for them to brown. Okay We're going to get these in the oven at 350 degrees And I'm going to set my timer for 12 minutes and then we'll see if they got some If they're brown enough. If not, I'll cook them a couple more edges and kind of chewy tea cakes are normally not chewy But you can turn up the temperature to 375 And cook them if you want them a little chewier on the inside I'm first going off, but I want my cookies browner than that. So we're going to turn them on a couple more minutes All right They're still not brown enough for me. Only the better the browner they are the better they taste We're going to get them out. I think the next ones I'll bake at 375 so it doesn't take as long I'm going to slide those off on that cooling tray And then I'm going to slide these on And get these in the oven you can go ahead and have another parchment ready and Voila two dozen. So if you make the whole recipe It's going to make and I'm going to change the temperature to 375 degrees Old-fashioned tea cakes There's nothing better to me than an old-fashioned tea cake and I love them so much That I can't quit eating them until they're all gone This recipe is going to bring back some memories My mama used to make them and then make a chocolate sauce And put them on the inside of them and we'd eat them like sandwich cookies Thanks for watching colored valley cooks where we cook like mama'll did
