About this dish

Teacake is a term used for a variety of baked goods made across the globe. In the UK, a teacake is generally a light yeast-based sweet bun containing dried mixed fruit, typically served toasted and buttered. In the US teacakes can be cookies or small cakes. In Sweden, they are soft, round, flat wheat breads made with milk and a little sugar, and used to make buttered ham or cheese sandwiches. In India and Australia, a teacake is more like an American butter cake. Tea refers to the popular beverage to which these baked goods are an accompaniment.
