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.

milk replaced with yogurt.
