Tea Biscuits image

Growing up Mom always (and still does) served these hot out of the oven with our beef stew. We slathered them with lots of butter & molasses and now the two recipes just go together! We can't have beef stew without them now! I cut them fairly thick for a nice fluffy biscuit. Also good with butter & strawberry jam!

Time 22m

Yield 12-14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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).
