Bermuda Tea Biscuits

Similar to a Scone, but not sweet at all.

I had a look around for different recipes from Bermuda and since I was in the mood for something cake-like, this one was the choice.  It is very similar to a scone, but not quite so high and there is no sugar in it.

This means you can either put some jam on the biscuit to sweeten, or if you wanted something savoury you could easily put grated cheese, ham or bacon on top.  Pretty versatile, and very quick to make.
 Yield for this recipe is 12.

Ingredients:

2 c. whole wheat or white flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. milk
1 egg, beaten

 

We ate ours with Blackberry jam. Yum

Method:

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter thoroughly, add milk and egg and stir. Add additional flour as needed to make the dough stiff enough to handle. Knead it a little, then roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut out with biscuit cutter. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
