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...

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 for Making the Perfect Tea Biscuits:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will create pockets of steam in the oven, resulting in flaky biscuits. If your butter is too soft, it will spread out too much and the biscuits will be dense.
  • Work quickly: The longer you handle the dough, the tougher the biscuits will be. Once you have added the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, work the dough just until it comes together.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading the dough will make the biscuits tough. Knead the dough just until it is smooth and well combined.
  • Roll out the dough to the correct thickness: The thickness of the dough will affect the texture of the biscuits. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  • Use a sharp biscuit cutter: A sharp biscuit cutter will give you clean, even edges. If your biscuit cutter is dull, it will tear the dough and the biscuits will be ragged.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: Baking the biscuits at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and evenly. Bake the biscuits at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Tea biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits are sure to be a hit. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious tea biscuits that your family and friends will love.
