Nanny'S Newfoundland Tea Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
Whisk flour and baking powder together in a bowl; stir in raisins. Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl.
Beat butter, sugar, and salt together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat egg mixture into butter mixture; stir in flour mixture until dough is just mixed.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll out about 1-inch thick. Cut dough with a biscuit cutter or juice glass; place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheets.
