"Me!" and Noa comes bounding up the stairs while everyone else pretends I don't exist.
"Are they easy?" she asks as I pin up her hair and tie a bow in her apron.
"Easy peasy!" I tell her.
I don't bake all that often. I hate the mess of it even though I enjoy the spoils. Noa is usually quick to come by my side and 'help' whenever the opportunity presents itself - she seems to love the mess (though mysteriously disappears when it comes time to clean.)
I measure. She dumps. I sift. She stirs. I roll. She cuts. We're a good team!
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 1/4 cups milk
Bonus Ingredients (if you feel so inclined)
Raisins - for a sweeter biscuit
or Grated Cheese - for a nice flavour boost
or Chopped Onion - for a little interest
{or go really crazy and put cheese and onion together!}
Sift together dry ingredients. Add butter and milk (and optional raisins). Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead several times. Roll dough out to a 3/4 inch thickness. Cut into biscuits. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet (top with optional cheese, onion, or both). Bake at 425° for 10 to 12 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.

DeleteI think I will be making these soon! we all love tea biscuits

DeleteI am so slowly getting caught up on your posts an feeling the strangest of urges to bake tea biscuits, kill spiders, and take a shower. By the way the whole adolescent boy thing will magically disappear into 2 - 3 daily showers when he truly discovers girls. Love your writing Alanna.
ReplyDeleteAha! Thanks, Julie!
