Nanny's Tea Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take two baking sheets and give them a good coating of grease to prevent sticking.
3
To begin the actual recipe, combine two main dry ingredients - flour and baking powder - in a bowl. Add raisins to the mixture and whisk until they're evenly distributed.
4
In another bowl, mix together milk and eggs using a whisk. This will serve as the base for your dough.
5
Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. This should take approximately one minute.
6
Mix the egg-based liquid into the butter mixture, then gradually add the flour-based dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly dusted surface and use your hands or a rolling pin to shape it into a 1-inch thick layer.
8
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out 24 identical pieces from the dough. Place these onto your prepared baking sheets.
9
Finally, place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until your biscuits are golden brown. This should take around 10 minutes.
