MEME'S TEA BISCUITS MADE EASY



Meme's Tea Biscuits Made Easy image

My grandmother made these delicious Tea Biscuits at least twice a week. Although Wal Mart sells a frozen tea biscuit which is very similar in taste, Meme's Tea Biscuits are better. On a 1 to 10 scale, Mary B's Tea Biscuits rank an 8 and Meme's rank a 10. I admit Mary B's are very handy to use, but some people still prefer...

Provided by Kay Skipper

Categories     Biscuits

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c plain flour (leveled)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp soda
3 heaping teaspoons of baking powder
3 level tablespoons of crisco shortening
1 cup (or slightly less) of buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven @ 425 Sift first 4 ingredients together making sure to mix all thoroughly.
  • 2. Add your Crisco shortening, blending into flour mixture very well.
  • 3. Add buttermilk, slowly while blending well; kneed in bowl for a few minutes minutes.
  • 4. Sprinkle work area and rolling pin with flour,roll and cut your dough to make tea biscuits using a cookie or biscuit cutter.
  • 5. Apply Baker's Joy to cookie sheet; place tea biscuits on cookie sheet approximately 1/2 inch apart.
  • 6. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or til light golden brown. (Don't be intimidated by this recipe. You can make these if you really aren't a bread baker.)
  • 7. *NOTE* This recipe makes many tea biscuits (they should be about the same size as Mary B's) Also, they are very delicious the next day cut open, buttered and then toasted. Offer them with apple jelly or your favorite jelly. Your family will be so impressed with your very own homemade tea biscuits and you will too.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the biscuits be light and flaky. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before grating it.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Roll out the dough to the correct thickness. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense. If the dough is too thin, the biscuits will be dry.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking. This will give them a golden brown crust.
  • Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Biscuits are a delicious and versatile Southern dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect biscuits every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these easy biscuits a try!
