Billion Dollar Tea Biscuits



Mum ran across this recipe on Facebook and shared it.  

So, like any curious person that sees something in the recipe that he's never seen before, he wanted t make it.  So I did.  At 5 in the morning, before Tonya will EVER be awake, I'm in the kitchen, putting the coffee on and making biscuits.


Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 cup Crisco Golden Lard
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk


Stuff you will need

2 x Mixing bowls
Pastry cutter
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper
Biscuit cutter - I used a drink glass dipped in flour


Directions

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a mixing bowl. 

Cut in the lard with a knife or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 

Stir milk +egg into the flour mixture until moistened. 

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll the dough out into a 3/4 to 1-inch thick round. 

Cut dough with a biscuit cutter and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.



Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome!

*Crisco Golden Lard can be replaced with butter 1:1
** Margarine will not give you the same results
