Royal Albert

Welcome to Tea!  Have a seat and we'll share some Tea & Conversation.  I am Serving Chamomile Tea and Cottage Cheese & Raisin Biscuits.   Here is some of My Royal Albert Old Country Roses Tea Cups and Saucers in a pretty papered Wooden Tray, lined with a doily and a pretty hand-adorned Tea Towel.  I love this Royal Albert Old Country Roses Basket-Weave and Ribbons Tea Pot, Sugar Bowl & Creamer...

And since we're drinking Loose-Leaf Tea, I got out my Royal Albert Old Country Roses Strainer and Dish.

{These are soooo yummy...Jan}

Cottage Cheese and Raisin Biscuits

2 cups of all purpose flour

4 tsp of baking powder

1 tsp of salt

I egg, beaten

1 cup of cottage cheese

2 tbsp cooking oil 

1/4 cup of milk

2/3 cup of raisins (use dried cranberries or chopped up dried apricots)

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, then make a well in the centre.  In a second bowl, beat the egg, add the cottage cheese and beat a little more.  Stir in the oil and milk.  Pour wet ingredients into the well and stir, forming a soft dough.  Put on a floured board and knead about 10 times.  (If the dough seems a bit wet, just add a little more flour.)  Pat out to about 3/4 inch thickness (2 cm) and cut out biscuits with a floured juice glass, cookie cutter, whatever you have.  Put on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for about 12 minutes.  (Or into a pan so that the biscuits touch)  Makes 12-14 biscuits.
