These longtime family favorites are crisp on the outside, slightly chewy in the center and full of currants. The dough is not overly sweet, so sprinkling the tops with sugar enhances the flavor and gives them a nice look.-Wendy Lehman, Huron, Ohio

These tea cakes were a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These tea cakes were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more butter next time.
