Almond Milk -Tea Biscuits


These fluffy and light tea biscuits
are delicious any time of day
 Great for afternoon tea 
with butter and jam.
Delicious warm, right
out of the oven.





Ingredients:

2 cups Flours
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2tsp salt.
1/4 cup butter cut in cubes.
1 cup almond milk 








Preheat Oven to 450 degrees



Whist together the flour, baking powder and salt.





Cut the butter in cubes


With a pastry cutter or 2 forks, cut the butter
 into the flour until course crumb texture


Add almond milk to make a soft dough.
Knead dough a few minutes
 on a floured board.
Flatten out or roll out
approx. 1/2inch thick





With a cookie cutter, 
(I use a glass dipped in Flour)
cut out biscuits.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Brush the top with a little milk
to make a brown crust.



Bake 12-15 minutes







 Also great accompanying
soup or luncheon dishes.




Perfect Tea Biscuits should 
should be golden brown with
a fairly smooth, level top.                                   
They  should be slightly moist, 
tender, light and flaky.

Thanks for your visit

Beautiful ironstone tableware. Thank you for posting the Five Roses recipe for Tea Biscuits.
My page fell out of my book and somehow I have lost it. It has been a while since I made biscuits and as you can imagine it was my favourite recipe. That's why the page fell out. I thought I remembered it but was unsure of myself. I am a widow and don't bake that often for myself since my family is grown and gone off. Well you just can't imagine how grateful I am to find your copy of the recipe. I might just try this variation someday as well. It sounds good. Right now I need strawberry shortcake as well as raspberry shortcake next. Thank you.

Regards,
Julie
