Heavily spiced lumps of pure indulgence that are just begging for slabs of melting butter

Teacakes mean different things to different people, depending on where they’re based. These aren’t the chocolate-covered marshmallow kind, but rather the spiced bread variety. I’ve gone heavier with the spices than is traditional, using those found in a masala chai for something ultra-comforting. Serve warm from the oven with silly amounts of butter, and any leftovers will be even better toasted the next day. Again: don’t forget the butter!
