Tea Biscuits - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup butter (I usually just use Imperial Margarine and make sure it is really cold)
2/3 cup milk
Preparation
-
Mix all dry ingredients together.
With pastry blender cut in butter.
Add milk and mix well to form dough.
Knead just a few times until smooth on a floured surface.
DO NOT overwork, handle as little as possible.
Roll to desired thickness and cut with a floured cutter or bottom of drinking glass.
(I tend to cut them fairly thick so I never get the maximum 14 biscuits, more like 10-12!).
Bake at 375 for 12-13 minutes.
(I find it only takes about 10 minutes in my particular oven).
