Tea Biscuits

Description

So delicious warm from the oven with butter and honey!

2 cups

all purpose flour

4 teaspoons

baking powder

1 teaspoon

salt

1⁄2 cups

butter or margarine (cold)

3 cups

milk (or buttermilk) (cold)

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease a baking sheet.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter or margarine until it has a fine crumb texture.

Stir in the milk with a fork to make a soft dough. Knead 8 to 10 times, then roll out to the thickness of 1/2 inch.

Cut into rounds with a cookie or biscuit cutter. Place on cookie sheet, and allow to rest for a few minutes.

Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. Serve warm.

We made these tea biscuits with a gluten-free flour blend and they turned out great at our Volunteer Training series.
