About Teacakes

Teacakes are soft, lightly sweetened baked goods often enjoyed with tea or coffee. Originating from British cuisine, these round treats typically consist of flour, sugar, butter, milk, and sometimes eggs, creating a tender texture. While variations exist worldwide, British teacakes commonly include dried fruits like raisins or currants for added flavor and natural sweetness. Nutritionally, teacakes provide a source of carbohydrates for energy, and the dried fruits contribute small amounts of fiber and essential nutrients. However, their refined sugar and flour content may be a concern when consumed in large quantities, as these can impact blood sugar levels. Traditionally small in size, teacakes make for an occasional indulgence and a delightful pairing with a warm cup of tea. To enhance the nutritional profile, whole-grain flour or less sugar can be used in home-baked versions for a healthier twist on this classic treat.
