Recipe: Traditional Newfoundland Tea Buns

Traditional Newfoundland Tea Buns

Combine:
4 cups flour
6 tsp. baking powder
1 cup butter
1 tsp. salt

Add:
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup raisins

Mix together and add:
1 1/4 cups milk (reserving 1/4 cup so your dough is not too wet and only if you need it)
2 eggs

Gently bring together the mixture with a light touch patting, not kneading. Pat to a 1-inch thickness on a flour surface. Cut out rounds with a drinking glass upside down with the rim dipped in flour to avoid sticking and lay on parchment paper which is on a baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash for nice browning.

Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes.

Enjoy with tea or coffee!
