Great for a snack with jam. These biscuits are a favourite with my family. |
My Mom made these often,
to feed her large family,
with minimal ingredients.
This recipe yields around 15 biscuits.
They are a favourite of
my grandkids also,
disappearing fast when
they're around.
Great served warm with butter,
also with soup.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter cut into small pieces.
(If you like the biscuits, more flaky,
use a between 1/4 and 1/2 cups butter.)
1 cup milk.
Preheat Oven to 450 deg.F
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour
baking powder and salt.
Butter
Cut in butter until mixture is
a course crumb texture
Add milk, stirring with a fork
to make a soft dough
Knead lightly for a few minutes.
Roll or pat out to desired
thickness-about 1/2 inch.
Cut out biscuits with a
2 inch cookie cutter.
My favorite glass works well.
Bake 10-12 minutes or
until golden brown
450 deg.F
Delicious right out of the oven, with jam.
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.
I substituted the shortening for butter.
