    Idea of using recipe other than my Grandmother’s seems downright wrong when it comes to tea cakes. That’s heritage pride for you! lol

    My mother’s sweet neighbor ‘Lily, teacakes’ was her nickname. We never forget those who are kid to us in our childhood.

    My Granny was from Alabama. She made tea cakes in her biscuit bowl. It was a simple recipe of milk, lard or Crisco, sugar and nutmeg.

    High -light for southern children, getting off the school bus and find a large plate of Tea Cakes. Some-time Mom would make a chocolate icing for the cakes. What memories. ( IT MUST HAVE BEEN AN ALABAMA THING. )

    My Grandmother,Mary Lou Jetton,made tea cakes that I tried to reproduce for years without success.Later in my life I added nutmeg and it finally tasted right.

    Also,she made the best applesauce cake.I cannot make it because she dried her apples on a tin sheet in the sun covered with screen to keep bugs off.I do not know what kind of apples she dried.
    Get the recipes while you can is all I can say

    My neighbor growing up in Ellisville, Jones County, Mississippi in the 1940’s-50’s, Nolan Mayfield aka ‘Nolie’, made the best I’ve ever eaten. She may have had Alabama roots.
