These longtime family favorites are crisp on the outside, slightly chewy in the center and full of currants. The dough is not overly sweet, so sprinkling the tops with sugar enhances the flavor and gives them a nice look.-Wendy Lehman, Huron, Ohio

These tea cakes are a bit too crumbly for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries instead. They were still delicious!

These tea cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I was a bit skeptical about making these tea cakes because I'm not a very experienced baker. But they were surprisingly easy to make and turned out delicious!

I've tried many Welsh tea cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the cakes turned out perfectly.

These Welsh tea cakes were a hit at my afternoon tea party! They were light, fluffy, and had a lovely subtle sweetness. I'll definitely be making them again.
