Tea Biscuits or Pot Pie Top Crust image

Easy to make and delicious! My Mom used to make these biscuits for after school snacks with butter, cheese, jam . . . Also great with stews or gravies, and as a top crust for pot pies!

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Cut biscuits and place on baking sheet.
