teacakes
Toasted buttered treats
Teacakes are small, lightly sweetened baked goods served with tea.
In Britain, a teacake is typically a round yeast bun containing dried fruit, often toasted and buttered.
In the American South, teacakes are simple, soft cookies resembling sugar cookies, traditionally made for children: My grandmother's teacakes were famous at church socials.
