seedcakes
Old-fashioned tea biscuits
Seedcakes are small cakes or cookies flavored with aromatic seeds, especially caraway.
Traditional in British baking, they appear in older literature as a teatime treat: She served seedcakes and sherry to her guests.
The texture is dense and the flavor distinctive—an acquired taste for modern palates.
