Yield Makes about 17

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 tablespoons chilled vegetable shortening
1/3 cup dried currants
5 tablespoons (about) milk
1 egg

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add butter and shortening and rub with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Add currants. Whisk 4 tablespoons milk and egg in small bowl. Add to dry ingredients; stir until moist clumps form, adding more milk if mixture is dry. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch-thick round. Using cookie cutter, cut out 2 1/2- to 3-inch rounds. Gather dough scraps; roll out to 1/2-inch-thick round. Cut out additional rounds.
  • Heat heavy large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange 6 to 8 cakes on griddle. Reduce heat to low and cook until cakes are set and brown, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer to rack. Repeat with remaining cakes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Nice! These tea cakes were a delightful treat. I loved the combination of sultanas and mixed peel. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.

Not a fan. Found the tea cakes to be too dry and bland. Maybe I did something wrong, but I won't be making them again.

Great recipe! The tea cakes were light and fluffy, with a lovely flavor. I added a bit of extra mixed peel for a bit of a citrusy kick.

Followed the recipe exactly but the tea cakes came out flat and dense. Not sure what went wrong.

Meh. These Welsh tea cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I found them to be a bit dry and lacking in flavor.

Not bad! Not the best tea cakes I've had, but definitely not the worst. They were a bit dry for my taste, but my husband enjoyed them.
