Baking The Tea Cakes
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
Now, let’s get mixing. As with most baking recipes, you’ll want to start by mixing your wet ingredients in one bowl and your dry ingredients in another.
Once you beat together your wet ingredients in one bowl and sift together the dry ingredients in the other, you can then mix these all together into a dry dough.
Knead the dough, wrap it up, and chill for an hour. Then you can roll it out and get it ready for baking.
Once they’re done, enjoy!
