Time 42m

Yield 12 ruby tea bisuits, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup jam or 1/2 cup jelly, red

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Measure the sifted flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and mix with fork in large mixing bowl.
  • Cut in vegetable shortening until it looks like coarse bread crumbs.
  • Add the milk and mix it into the flour with fork-but only until the mixture will form a soft ball.
  • Place the ball of dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it 12 times.
  • Rub some flour on rolling pin and roll the dough until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
  • With a large biscuit cutter cut circles, very close together, in the dough. Use a straight downward motion and do not twist the cutter.
  • With a spatula lift HALF of the circles, one at a time onto a cookie sheet and arrange them about 1 inch apart.
  • With a small cutter cut a hole in the center of the rest of the circles to make rings and lift out the centers. Set the centers aside.
  • Place the rings on top of the circles on the cookie sheet.
  • Place a teaspoon of red jam or jelly in each ring.
  • Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  • Immediately take bicsuits off cookie sheet with spatula.
  • With centers bake into little biscuits.

These biscuits are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ruby tea, but I really enjoyed these biscuits. The tea flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

These biscuits didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

I made these biscuits yesterday and they turned out perfectly! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. The ruby tea added a lovely subtle flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
