Yummy Raisin Tea Biscuits No Sugar Added Recipes

NO SUGAR ADDED OATMEAL AND RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350. Prep a pan for nonstick- I use parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Set this bowl aside.
• Now in a mixing bowl, cream together the granular sugar alternative and the butter. Then add the vanilla and the eggs, gently stirring them into the mixing bowl
• For the next step, we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl (flour etc) to the mixing bowl. Do this by adding half of the dry ingredients at a time, mixing gently between additions. Then continue mixing the cookie dough until the ingredients are mixed together.
• Next, stir in the oatmeal and raisins by hand. Bake these cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown

RAISIN TEA BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Soak raisins in water for 10 minutes; drain and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a knife or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into the flour mixture until moistened. Add the drained raisins. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll the dough out into a 3/4 to 1-inch thick round. Cut dough with a biscuit cutter and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush egg mixture on each biscuit.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

SCONES / TEA BISCUITS (CANADIAN LIVING)

Steps:

• Line rimless baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat; or dust lightly with flour. Set aside.
• In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Pour buttermilk over top and stir with fork to form soft, slightly sticky ragged dough.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, knead gently 10 times to smooth dough, adding a sprinkle more flour to the work surface if needed. Gently pat or roll out into generous ½-inch thick round. Using 2-inch cutter, cut out rounds. Place on prepared baking sheet. Gather up scraps and repat dough; cut out more rounds, pressing any remaining scraps into a final scone (the bakers's scone).
• Brush tops of scones with egg. Bake in centre of 425°F oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on pan on rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks to finish cooling.
• Tip: Before cutting out scones, dip cutter into flour, repeating the dipping between cuts so cutter doesn't stick. Always cut out scones, or any cookie, with as little space as possible between rounds as possible. You can reroll the scraps, but at every rerolling the results are tougher. So get as many rounds as you can out of the first roll.
