Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry, apricot, or strawberry)
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a fork to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then stir gently until the batter comes together. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly thick.
Lightly grease the Easy Bake Oven baking pans with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each pan cavity, spreading it evenly to the edges with a small spoon or spatula.
Using the back of a teaspoon, create a shallow indent in the center of each batter mound. Be careful not to press all the way through.
Fill each indent with 1/4 teaspoon of fruit preserves, being careful not to overfill to avoid spilling during baking.
Place the filled pans in the Easy Bake Oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the teacakes are lightly golden and set.
Carefully remove the pans using appropriate tools and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before transferring the teacakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once cooled, lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finishing touch.
Serve your jeweled teacakes with tea, milk, or as a stand-alone treat!
