Southerners enjoy many lovely things, and tea cakes are one of the loveliest. These treats have a long history in the region’s food culture, dating at least as far back as the antebellum era. And they still occupy a special place in many families’ traditions, including ours. Confusingly, tea cakes are not cakes. They are pillowy cookies with barely browned, crispy-ish edges, soft, cake-like centers, and a whisper of salt. This recipe makes a lot (48 cookies!), but these elegant little treasures freeze well. Just pop one out of the freezer and let it thaw for about 10 minutes. It will taste just as a good as when you made them.
