Directions
Mix and sift ALL dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt). Cut in butter or margarine rubbing the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips. Make a hollow in the center of the dry ingredients. Add milk slowly to make a soft dough. The dough should be soft and pliable never sticky. Knead dough very lightly for a few seconds on a lightly floured board. Pat the dough gently and cut the dough with a floured cutter. Place biscuits on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 450º F for 12 – 15 minutes. The tea biscuits should rise and be lightly brown in color.
