Tea Biscuits Recipe
These baking-powder risen biscuits can be savoury or sweet. They are somewhat like English scones.
Cooking Temperature 190 C / 375 F / Gas Mark 5
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ⅓ cup Butter
- 1 cup Milk
- ½ teaspoon Sugar if desired
- 1 ½ cups Cheddar Cheese If desired. Grated.
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder & salt (& sugar if desired) in bowl. Cut in butter. Mix in milk until you have a soft dough.
- Start oven heating to 190 C / 375 F / Gas Mark 5.
- Drop by spoonful onto ungreased cooking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden colour. Makes about 10 biscuits.
Notes
You can use margarine in place of butter; skim or low-fat milk in place of milk. Having saved on all this fat, you could then add the cheese for a treat.
