alovelycupoftea requested ... something that goes with tea. :D

This is two recipes in one. The first is a very simple tea biscuit recipe that is great on its own, and the second is Strawberry Cobbler that uses the tea biscuit.


Tea Biscuit

There are plenty of recipes for fabulous tea biscuits out there. I make this one because it is dead easy and I know the recipe by heart. There is no sugar in these biscuits. I like to eat them warm, cut open and topped with butter and brown sugar.

In a bowl mix:
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Then add:
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup oil

Stir with a fork until it starts to come together then use your hands (don’t over mix, just make sure your ball of dough grabs most of the flour in the bowl)

Separate into 4 medium tea biscuits, place on a cooking stone or cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 400 C




Strawberry Cobbler

In a sauce pan, add:
1 pint of frozen strawberries (this is meant as a winter dessert, and yes, it works best with frozen strawberries rather than fresh).
1 cup sugar
dash cinnamon
1 tbsp corn starch
1 cup water
(optional) splash red food colouring

Heat through on low, until strawberries are thawed completely.

Add strawberries to a deep casserole dish and top with chunks of uncooked tea biscuit dough.

Bake in oven 400 for 20 minutes.
