Basic Tea Biscuit Recipe

Sorry about the bad photos, at the time I was taking pictures of the teddy bears (which I made (called Doom Bears)) so I wasn't focusing on the tea biscuits!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shortening/butter
• 3/4 cup milk

Directions

1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. 
2. mix shortening/butter in until mixture has a crumb-like texture. 
3. Stir in milk with a fork to make a soft dough. Knead 8 to 10 times, and then roll out to a thickness of at least 1/2 inch. (the dough may feel dry, this is fine. If the dough is too dry then you can add more milk as necessary)
4. Cut into rounds with a cookie or biscuit cutter (I use the rim of a small glass cup instead). Place on cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes on 400 degrees F. Serve warm.

Like I said in the title, they're very basic. They're sort of a mixture between a pastry and a loaf of bread. I love to eat them plain, or with jam or butter..Sometimes I'll put a glob of icing on them.

I'm planning on posting a more sweet, desert-like tea biscuit recipe (when I get back from my trip) that an aunt of mine emailed to me which turned out quite good, so keep reading!~ 

Breakfast and afternoon Tea Time!

This mornings breakfast :) Tea time! Orange Pekoe tea with soy milk, and egg-less, flour-less breakfast muffins (from my own recipe which I will probably post eventually)

Its a Mixture of Wheat Germ, Wheat/Oat Bran, ground Flaxseed, and oats. With Vanilla, Cinnamon, Milk, and Chocolate Chips and a Raspberry center. Topped off with Walnuts :)

And My afternoon snack was sugar/sweetener-free apple crisp, and more tea<3 I just absolutely love Orange Pekoe, and English Breakfast tea served with soy milk<3

The apple crisp is a mix of large flake oats, butter, craisins, a single chopped&peeled apple, vanilla, cinnamon and toasted almonds. (I'll probably post recipe and directions eventually! It's super easy!)

I took these pics for fun and really liked them, so I had to include them;

My hair looks so red! I wore my Leech and Bat necklace today :)
