Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened and cut into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk (or almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup raisins (or currants)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry blender (or a fork), cut in the butter until the mixture is evenly crumbly.

  2. Pour in the milk and stir. The mixture should be sticky. Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (You should have enough for six mini biscuits). Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes.
