These tea cakes are a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to enhance the flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tea cakes turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These tea cakes are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.

These tea cakes are phenomenal!! They are moist and flavorful, with the perfect amount of sweetness. I used fresh currants from my garden, and they added a wonderful burst of flavor. Will definitely be making these again soon!
