I just love whipping up good teacake for afternoon tea, mainly because they are so easy to make, and it never fails to impress guests when you serve it up, still warm from the oven.I found this recipe at the wonderful Tartelette. I also took the precaution of baking the teacakes in paper cases, as my little cakes are notorious for always sticking to the pan, no matter how careful I am with the greasing.
Apricot Teacakes
Makes about 18
Ingredients
1/3 cup (67g) sugar
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons (56.5g) butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup (58g) sour cream
1/2 cup (62.5g) all purpose flour
1/2 cup (125g) dried apricot halves, diced
Method
Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (185 deg C).
Whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the butter and sour cream and combine well.
Add the flour, dried apricots and mix until incorporated.
Divide mixture between mini muffin tins coated with cooking spray and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on wire racks.
Ingredients; mix eggs with sugar; throw in the flour and apricots
Spoon mixture into mini muffin tins; waiting to be eaten
As always, serve with a cup of ... Tea!

ReplyDeletei love a good whip-it-up-quick afternoon tea recipe. always good for when people call up to say they're "in the neighbourhood & could we pop by?" :)

hi FFichiban - yes, small means you can eat them all up at once!
ReplyDeletehi Shez - don't you hate it when people 'drop in'? At least we can cook up an impressive afternoon tea! Better not encourage them, though...
