Pennyweight Market's Fave Tea Biscuits
Easy peasy, soft and cheesy! An old fashioned biscuit recipe gets a Pennyweight makeover.
There is nothing quite like a warm biscuit fresh from the oven, smothered in butter or jam. This recipe is a tried and true family favourite, enlivened with seasoned sea salt from Saltwest Naturals. We used their handcrafted onion and chive infused sea salt in these biscuits, but any of their savoury or spicy flavours could be substituted. By adding this special ingredient, our basic biscuit recipe is easily updated. For our biscuits, we also prefer to use a Manitoba made Bothwell cheese, and our double action baking powder.
