Our teacakes do not have currants in them, and they are too big to fit in a standard toaster. <br /><br />I guess what they all have in common is that they go well with tea ;)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-33592691484312949092012-01-05T19:11:14.449+00:002012-01-05T19:11:14.449+00:00Carol - you are only the second person I've ev...Carol - you are only the second person I've ever come across to mention battenburg cake as a particular like.

They are nothing like our other teacakes. If you order a teacake here it is more like yours - made with wheat flour and like a flattish bun but with currants in it. At Easter they have a cross on them and are called Hot Cross Buns. We often have them toasted with butter on them.<br />There was once confusion when I asked Jo and GB if they fancied a teacake in a cafe. Jo thought I meant the currant bun and GB thought I meant a Tunnocks - GB was disappointed!

Apparently a British teacake is nothing like ours... A Swedish 'tekaka' is a wheat flour breakfast bread, like a flat bun, usually eaten with butter and cheese or ham or whatever you prefer on top! They are good, but if you ordered one expecting a Tunnock's kind, you'd be very disappointed!DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-51884204761791800572012-01-05T11:56:29.627+00:002012-01-05T11:56:29.627+00:00Tunnock's Teacakes are an institution.
