    Spring Tea Scones & Tea Cookies

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Its spring time, the flowers are blooming and it is the most wonderful time to be outside and entertaining. A tea party is low maintenance a but classy ways to gather for friendship, baby and wedding showers and even little girl birthday parties.

    High tea is most common in the UK and is offered in very famous hotels with show stopping decor and over the top pastries, cookies and finger food. It might seem overwhelming to plan, but hosting a tea party can be as simple or detailed as you would like. Tables are covered in linens, your favorite china and topped with tiered stands filled with everything from scones and tea cookies to savory fair; tea sandwiches, dainty salads and quiche. Everything is finger food and the perfect bite to show off your inner lady.

    Once you have picked out the decor and style of your party, start planning your menu. Strawberry lemon scones are one of my favorite items to put on the menu. These tender pastries adorned with fresh strawberries and a tangy lemon glaze are perfect to enjoy on its own, topped with a smear of butter and jelly or filled with fresh whipped cream and strawberries for a satisfying strawberry shortcake. Next on my menu is always a classic tea cookie. Petite, buttery and not to sweet, tea cookies will pair perfectly next to your tea cup and saucer. Changing the flavor of these is super simple and will add a special touch to your event.
