Larger in surface area than teacakes are muffins, also known as over-bottomers
These different types of bread get called different names in different towns and parts of the country - barmcakes, rolls, baps, cobs amongst them.

I was once working in North Yorkshire, I called into a baker's shop and asked for two buttered Tea Cakes, "pardon", the assistant replied, can I have two buttered Tea Cakes I asked again pointing at the stack of Tea Cakes in the glass display.
"Oh, tha wants Flour Cakes, Flower", she replied as she cut and buttered them.
