Tea Biscuits

Low in cholesterol and sugar.

These biscuits are a 

favourite of my family.

My mother made these often..

Great warm from the oven,

with butter and jam.

They disappear fast when

 my grandkids are around.

Ingredients:

2 cups Flours

4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup butter cut in cubes

1 cup milk

Preheat Oven to 450deg.F.

Whisk together flour, 

baking powder and salt.

With a pastry cutter or 2 forks,

 cut in butter until mixture is 

a coarse crumb texture

Add milk, stirring with a fork

 to make a soft dough.

 Turn dough onto lightly floured board 

and knead lightly for a few minutes.

Roll or pat out to desired thickness

 - about 1/2 inch

Cut dough with a 2-inch 

floured biscuit cutter.

(I use my favourite glass)

Place on ungreased baking sheet.

Brush tops with milk to 

make a brown crust.

Bake in hot oven 450 degrees 12-15 minutes

Perfect Tea Biscuits 

should be golden brown 

with a fairly smooth, level top.

They  should be slightly moist, 

tender, light and flaky.

This recipe I took from an

old  Five Roses Cookbook.
Instead of shortening, I use butter.

I also make

Almond Milk Tea Biscuits.

also

Yogurt Tea Biscuits

milk replaced with yogurt.
