     These incredibly moist and buttery confections aren't a cake or a cookie. They're crunchy topped chewy, butterscotch-y heaven, and they're so easy to make.  

     In Nashville, where they were born, they're often served with iced sweet tea, but they're even better with coffee, hot tea, or milk.

Tennessee  T- cakes

Ingredients:
1 ½ c. packed dark brown sugar
½ c. white sugar
1 c. salted butter, melted and hot 
2 large eggs
4 t. vanilla
1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
Powdered sugar, for garnish

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the melted butter and set aside (some of the brown sugar will melt). In mixer with paddle attachment, gently mix the egg and vanilla. Add the butter and sugar mixture to the egg mixture and beat on low until mixed well. Add flour all at once to mixer.  mix well until ribbon-like.

Bake in 24 paper lined cupcake cups for 22 minutes, turning at 11 minutes.

Dust well with powdered sugar when cooled.

     I'm convinced that there are many more bad recipes than there are bad cooks. The problem is that sometimes decent cooks use bad recipes and then believe that the poor results are their fault.


     When people print recipes in cookbooks, magazines, etc. or when they post them online, they seldom tell the pitfalls or the little tips needed to make the recipe turn out well. And, too, quite a few printed recipes contain typos!


     I search for recipes that are good. Dependable. I'm not a chef. I'm a mother and grandmother who's been cooking for >45 years.


     I believe that any recipe posted for the general public should be one that I can master. If not, there's something wrong with the recipe.


     I post my successes and my failures, and tell what I learned when following each new recipe. I learn more from my mistakes. I don't know what that says about me.


     The very best recipes are the ones that are inexpensive, delicious AND easy. And there are a lot of those.


     Sometimes, I spend a little more and work a little harder for a recipe that seems to be one that will make people really happy.


Thanks, Linda
