Another recipe found on line, so simple that with a one hour baking time you can have it ready in about 1.5 hours. Creamy and delicious, for all those custard lovers out there. This is even better the second day after sitting in the fridge overnight, but don't dust with powdered sugar until just before serving or it'll just melt into the cake

TEACAKES

Spare a bit of time to bake these delicious teacakes which you can serve warm with butter for a weekend breakfast, coffee morning or afternoon tea

Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Afternoon tea, Breakfast

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

100ml milk
30g butter
350g strong white bread flour
7g sachet fast action dried yeast
2 tbsp sugar
½ tsp mixed spice
75g mixed dried fruit (peel, sultanas, raisins and currants)
oil for greasing
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Warm the milk with the butter in a pan until the butter has melted, then add 100ml water to cool the mixture to room temp. Tip the flour, yeast, sugar, spice and 1 tsp salt into a bowl, making sure the yeast is on the other side of the bowl to the salt. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour the milk and butter in, mixing until it forms big flakes, then bring together with your hands. Tip on a surface and knead until smooth (about 5 mins). Put the dough into a large, lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave until doubled in size, so about 1-1 ½ hours.
  • Line a tray with baking paper. Tip the mixed dried fruits into the dough and knead them in, trying to disperse them evenly throughout the dough. Cut your dough into 6 even-sized balls, take each ball and, using the cup of your hand, and pressing down a little with your palm, roll the ball in a circular motion on the surface to create tension across the top of the bun and a neat round shape. Place onto a tray about 5cm away from each other and press down with your palm to flatten the dough down a little, creating the teacake shape. Cover loosely with an oiled sheet of cling film, for a further 45 mins, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Brush the top of each bun liberally with the egg wash, then bake for 20 mins on the top shelf of the oven, until the buns are golden and well risen. Allow to cool on a wire rack, then slice in half, toast and slather with butter if you like.

Tips for Making the Perfect Custard Teacake:

  • Use good quality ingredients. Fresh, free-range eggs, real butter, and full-fat milk will all give your teacake a richer flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will ensure that they mix together smoothly and create a light and fluffy batter.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating can make the teacake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the teacake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Don't overbake the teacake. Custard teacakes are best when they are slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the center of the teacake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the teacake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the teacake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Custard teacakes are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for picnics, parties, or simply as a sweet snack. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect custard teacake that will be loved by everyone who tries it.
