Tea Biscuits

6 ingredients
9 steps

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

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all dry ingredients together.
  2. 2
    With pastry blender cut in butter.
  3. 3
    Add milk and mix well to form dough.
  4. 4
    Knead just a few times until smooth on a floured surface.
  5. 5
    DO NOT overwork, handle as little as possible.
  6. 6
    Roll to desired thickness and cut with a floured cutter or bottom of drinking glass.
  7. 7
    (I tend to cut them fairly thick so I never get the maximum 14 biscuits, more like 10-12!).
  8. 8
    Bake at 375 for 12-13 minutes.
  9. 9
    (I find it only takes about 10 minutes in my particular oven).
