Classic Tea Biscuits

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt*
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ cup butter (room temperature)
• ½ cup milk (I use 2%)
• ¼ cup cream (heavy/whole or whipping cream) 30% fat
• ¼-½ cup raisins**

Instructions

• 1 Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 2 In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder, cut in the
  butter to form coarse crumbs. Stir in the drained raisins, add the milk and
  cream and mix with a fork just until combined.
• 3 Move the mixture to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead
  approximately 6-8 times to bring the dough together. Gently flatten to 1 inch
  thickness and with a round cookie cutter (small or medium) cut out rounds. Place
  the rounds on the prepared cookie sheet about 1 inch apart, brush the tops of
  the biscuits with a little milk and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes.
• 4 Let cool 5-10 minutes move to a wire rack to cool completely or eat warm. Enjoy!
