Tea Biscuits


We enjoy digestive biscuits with our tea and I found a simple recipe that is better than any store-bought version. I will print out the recipe below in case this webpage vanishes.


Tea Biscuits

Preheat oven to 350 F.

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cold milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but delicious)


Combine flour, baking powder and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture looks like crumbs. Add sugar and pulse until it is blended.


Place the mixture in a bowl and add the milk and vanilla.
Mix with a spoon and your hands until a ball of dough forms. Roll out to a 1/8" thickness and cut in rounds with a cookie cutter. Place on a cookie sheet.


Bake for 15- 20 minutes. They need to be nicely browned so they stay crisp when cooled.
