How to Make Barbara Pratt S Tea Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add the milk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  6. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or a knife) to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
  7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with your favorite tea and spread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
