This comes from the Anne of Green Gables cookbook. These biscuits are wonderful, and one of the first things I learned how to make. Please note the recipe is designed for kids and writing as written.

Time 42m

Yield 12 ruby tea bisuits, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup jam or 1/2 cup jelly, red

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Measure the sifted flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and mix with fork in large mixing bowl.
  • Cut in vegetable shortening until it looks like coarse bread crumbs.
  • Add the milk and mix it into the flour with fork-but only until the mixture will form a soft ball.
  • Place the ball of dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it 12 times.
  • Rub some flour on rolling pin and roll the dough until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
  • With a large biscuit cutter cut circles, very close together, in the dough. Use a straight downward motion and do not twist the cutter.
  • With a spatula lift HALF of the circles, one at a time onto a cookie sheet and arrange them about 1 inch apart.
  • With a small cutter cut a hole in the center of the rest of the circles to make rings and lift out the centers. Set the centers aside.
  • Place the rings on top of the circles on the cookie sheet.
  • Place a teaspoon of red jam or jelly in each ring.
  • Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  • Immediately take bicsuits off cookie sheet with spatula.
  • With centers bake into little biscuits.

I'm not a fan of ruby tea, so I wasn't sure if I would like these biscuits. But I was pleasantly surprised! The flavor is very subtle and it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.

These biscuits are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. They were still tasty, but they were a bit dense.

These biscuits are a bit more time-consuming to make than some other biscuit recipes, but they're worth the effort. The flavor is amazing!

I'm not a big fan of sweet biscuits, but these were surprisingly delicious. The ruby tea flavor is very subtle and it pairs well with the savory ingredients in the biscuit dough.

These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover ruby tea. I always have a few bags of tea in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

These biscuits were a delightful afternoon treat! The texture was perfect - light and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly crisp exterior. The subtle sweetness of the ruby tea infused the biscuits with a unique and delicate flavor.
