Tea biscuits are a popular treat and a good addition to a light meal. I make a variety of recipes, but I had a craving for the whole wheat variety tonight, so I whipped up a batch of these.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup unbleached white flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup milk or plain yogurt
Instructions:
Preheat an oven to 450° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork. The mixture should be crumbly. Add the milk or yogurt and stir with a fork until a soft dough is formed. Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 8 to 10 times. Roll or pat the dough to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch round shapes with a cookie cutter or cut into squares or triangles with a knife. Arrange on the baking sheet. If you want the biscuits to have crisper sides, leave about an inch between the biscuits, otherwise bake them close together. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for a few minutes and serve hot or warm with a dab of butter.
Makes 10 to 12 biscuits |
