Buttermilk Tea Biscuits

 

These light and fluffy tea biscuits 

are great to have as afternoon

 tea or as a snack anytime of day.

 

Buttermilk is the liquid left behind 

after churning butter out of 

cultured cream.

 It is low in fat, high in vitamins, 

calcium, riboflavin and B12.

Ingredients:

2 cup flour

4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 tsp salt.

1/4 cup butter cut in small pieces,

(if you like more flakey biscuits,

 use between 1/4 to 1/2 cup butter.)

1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 450deg.F.

In a large bowl whisk together

the flour, baking powder, 

baking soda, sugar and salt.

With a pastry cutter or

 two forks cut in the butter,

until mixture resembles

course crumbs.

(some people use their 

food processor for this)

Add in the buttermilk.

I leave a little in the bottom of

the cup, about 1/8" to brush on

the biscuits before putting them

in the oven. 

Turn dough out on a floured surface

and kneel a few times.

Roll out about 11 by 7 inches.

Cut into squares or use a cookie

cutter and cut out round.

I brushed the tops with a little

buttermilk that I left in the cup.

Place on a cookie sheet and

 bake for 10-12 minutes.

I like them brown and crispy.

They are soo good! 😍

Enjoy!!

Thanks for your visit.
