Tea Biscuits

"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!"

directions

  • 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).

  1. These were delicious,I put in less sugar and used them for dinner with chili and strawberry shortcake.
     
  2. just like the ones my mom makes! I dust them with sugar before baking, and I serve them with stew. Yummy!
     
  3. These biscuits rose up nice and fluffy, and were very easy to make. I have saved the recipe to my permanent collection, but I will cut down the sugar to at least half next time. They are quite sweet for serving along side a savoury stew, but fit the bill for serving with jam. I recommend the recipe, with adjustments to the sugar when necessary.
     
  4. These are 5 star 125%!! They go great with stew! I made no changes to the recipe!
     
  5. I thought these were a nice, fluffy biscuit that was quick and easy to make. i personally found them a little on the sweet side, so that's the reason for only 4 stars. next time i'll make them about 1" thick before i cut them. i made them too thin this time and will cut the sugar back to 1/8 cup. all and all a good recipe-just a personal taste issue for me. thanks for the quick recipe.

About me....well...let's see,right now I am a married, stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful children, a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son....they are the "lights" of my life, which I think I pretty much spent waiting for them! I feel so very lucky (and truly blessed) to be their "Mommy". I don't know that I have a fave cookbook, (and I have rarely opened one of the many I have, since finding Zaar.) I just LOVE recipes and have been "acquiring" them since I was a teenager! Actually I think I bought my first cookbook in like grade two or three, a cookie recipe book from one of those scholastic book orders!
