Yummy Raisin Tea Biscuits - No Sugar Added image

This recipe came from one of my wonderful Canadian girl friends - it's so quick and easy and these are great for quick company stopping in for a cuppa. Freeze well and give you that home-made feeling without a lot of fuss. (I 1/2'd the salt as per recommend - I think when I traded the sugar for Splenda it probably didn't counteract the salt as well)

Time 30m

Yield 15 2, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 -6 tablespoons Splenda granular
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup butter, cold
3/4 cup milk, cold
1 cup raisins (I soak them in hot water so they are moist after baking. Also works well with Craisins or currents)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 450*.
  • Soak raisins in hot water so they are moist for baking.
  • Mix first five ingredients, cut in butter until it is pea sized.
  • Add milk, stir to combine (don't over mix), dough will come together when kneaded.
  • Drain raisins and stir until combined.
  • Turn onto lightly floured surface, knead 8-10 times.
  • Roll to 3/4" thickness, cut with biscuit cutter. 2" cutter makes 15 biscuits.
  • Brush with milk and sprinkle with splenda (or sugar).
  • Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes.
