We love to hear from our guests who join us at our tea tables! At our Monthly Themed Tea Parties we receive requests for many of the unusual recipes we use. Tea party recipes are great for unique and fun gatherings of all kinds. If you can’t find a recipe that you have enjoyed at one of our tea parties please send us an email request. [email protected]
Crunchy Almond Cheese Sandwich
Combine all ingredients except bread. I use food processor – but do not over mix. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. Spread on pumpernickel for delicious sandwiches!
Chaidoodles
Enjoy a Chaidoodle with a cup of brewed Anna Marie’s Masala Chai. Add a dollop of sweetened condensed to your cup to make a Chai Latte!
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time. Cream good between each egg. Wisk together remainder of ingredients than add to butter sugar mixture. Chill about 1 hour. Roll in 1″ balls, roll balls in cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake at 350° for 10-15 min. Lightly brown in color. Cool slightly in pan. Transfer on rack and cool completely.
Alfajores with Dulce de Leche
(in other words…Cornstarch Cookies and Yummy Caramelized Cream!) We served these sandwich cookies at our Argentinean Tea Party August 2013. The just lightly sweet cookies were perfectly paired with the sweet, rich Dulce de Leche middle.
Whisk cornstarch, flour, baking powder, baking soda together. Beat together butter, sugar until fluffy, add egg yolks one at a time till blended. Add dry ingredients 1/3 at a time. Add vanilla extract and lemon peel. Mix well.
Roll or stretch dough to approximately 1/2″ thick. cut out into circles of desired size. Bake at 350° for about 15 minutes. Bottoms should be slightly brown.
Cool and spread with Dulce de Leche. Top with another cookie to make a sandwich-style cookie. Enjoy!
