Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather up these simple ingredients to get started:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions to Follow
Now that you’ve got all your ingredients lined up, here’s how to bring it all together:
- First things first, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). You want it nice and hot for those biscuits.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Give it a good whisk to blend everything together.
- Now, let’s add the cold cubed butter into the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break it down until it looks like coarse crumbs. We want that butter to be well incorporated but still cold, giving us the flakiness we love!
- Gradually stir in the milk until everything is just moistened. Be gentle; over-mixing can make them tough.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Just a few times—don’t go overboard!
- Roll or pat the dough to about ½ inch thick. Then cut out your biscuits with a biscuit cutter or just a glass if you don’t have one. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Your kitchen is about to smell amazing!
- Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool slightly and enjoy them warm. Trust me; they’re best fresh!
There you have it, folks! These Canadian Tea Biscuits are easy to make and oh-so-delicious. Perfect for that sweet afternoon snack or to impress the family. Happy baking!
