Google will give you plenty.

I would never make them, I would end up being broader than I am tall.

Haha.. never heard of it. I like anything with chocolate, though.

I would never be able to give you recipes for things that contain wheat, sorry! lol I have to make gluten free versions of everything, and the texture is usually different =/

They are very much an Easter tradition, it is a celebration of christ on the cross. They are real yummy. I never had one with chocolate.

I thought maybe it was related to Easter when I was looking it up lol wasn't sure, though.

I have had tea cakes, but usually in French bakeries lol

The ones I have had are made with almond.. that might be different than yours?

I think an American version is more like... cookies? I don't even know!! lol
