Nanny’s Newfoundland Tea Biscuits

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.

Whisk flour and baking powder together in a bowl; stir in raisins. Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl.

Beat butter, sugar, and salt together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat egg mixture into butter mixture; stir in flour mixture until dough is just mixed.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll out about 1-inch thick. Cut dough with a biscuit cutter or juice glass; place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
