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).
