Traditional Newfoundland tea buns are a cousin to scones and biscuits. Everyone’s Mom or Nan made them. Perfect with a steaming cup of tea.
Ingredients
3 cups flour
¾ cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup evaporated milk, undiluted
1 cup raisins, light or dark, your preference. Use up to 1 1/2 cups if you like.
2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
I start these in my food processor because it is so fast but they can be made just as easily in a large bowl by cutting the butter in with a pastry blender or just rubbing it into the dry ingredients using your hands like Nan did.
In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut in the butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
Transfer to a large bowl and toss in the raisins.
Make a well in the center of the dry mix.
Mix together the lemon juice, vanilla and milk.Pour into the well and mix only enough to form a dough ball.
