Tea biscuits are a classic British treat perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea. They are simple to make, but they can be a bit tricky to get right. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky. The biscuits should be baked until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter,

1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175
degrees C).
Whisk together the flour, baking powder,
and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the butter until the mixture
resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the sugar.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg
and milk.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry
ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly
floured surface and roll it out to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
Cut out the biscuits using a biscuit
cutter.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet
lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden
brown.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few
minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
For a richer flavor, use unsalted
butter.
You can use a variety of different
flours for tea biscuits, such as whole wheat flour or spelled flour.
If the dough is too dry, add a
tablespoon of milk at a time until it is the right consistency.
Don't overwork the dough, or the
biscuits will be tough.
For a more festive touch, you can add
some dried cranberries or chopped nuts to the dough.
Enjoy!
These tea biscuits are best served warm
with butter and jam. They can also be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.
