Yorkshire Teacakes
Although we always called these ‘Yorkshire’ Teacakes in the bakery, they are popular in most areas of England, a teacake is a light, sweet, yeast-based bun containing dried fruits, most usually currants, sultanas or peel. It is typically split, toasted, very well buttered, and served with nice cup of tea. This video will show you every step in making this traditional English afternoon treat.
