My nanny used to make these tea biscuits all the time. One of my favorite memories of visiting Newfoundland is standing at the kitchen table as she made these and gave us a little bit of the raw dough to taste. They're light and delicious! Serve hot with butter and jam.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 cups raisins
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter , softened

  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.

    Whisk flour and baking powder together in a bowl; stir in raisins. Whisk milk and eggs together in a separate bowl.

  3. 3

    Beat butter, sugar, and salt together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in egg mixture, then stir in flour mixture until just combined.
