Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 4 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 cup | Shortening |
| 1 cup | Margarine |
| 1 cup | Milk |
| 1 cup | Buttermilk |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Incorporate Shortening: Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients using two knives or a pastry blender. Continue this process until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal in texture.
-
Create a Well: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and shortening mixture. This will be the space where you’ll gradually add the liquid ingredients.
-
Add Liquid Ingredients: Slowly pour in the milk and buttermilk into the well you created in the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently as you add the liquids.
-
Combine the Dough: Once all the liquid has been added, stir the dough vigorously until it begins to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl. This may take a few minutes, but ensure that all ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, such as a clean countertop or cutting board. Knead the dough lightly for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Shape the Biscuits: Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll out the dough to your desired thickness, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or the open end of a glass to cut out individual biscuits from the dough.
-
Bake: Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve the biscuits warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy these fluffy and flavorful tea biscuits as a delightful addition to any meal or snack time!
