I feel like I have been keeping a deep dark secret for many years. It’s time that I get this off my chest.
I’m a proud Newfoundlander, on this earth for 40+ years, and I’ve never made tea buns.
Until yesterday!
Thanks to my grandmother’s recipe that Mom shared with me a couple of weeks ago I made my first batch of good ol’ Newfoundland raisin tea buns. The were deeeeelishus!
Thanks Mom!

3 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
5 tsp baking power
1/2 tsp salt
sift together in bowl
cut in 1/2 cup butter
mix together 1 cup milk and two eggs. Stir into bowl with the rest.
Add raisins, coconut, or chocolate chips as desired.
Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly browned on top. I had to bake for 25 minutes.
Let me know how they work out.

Do you like it?
…and while I like coconut in the tea buns, I didn’t add any this time. Just used the base recipe and added raisins. I cut them in half and smear on a little butter. Yum.

We made Tea Buns for the first time last week! I am going to try this one, I wasn’t a huge fan of the one I found last time!

That theme makes it look like you’ve taken up stitching… Just saying. Oh, and I need some pants hemmed if you have the time.

I imagine the Blue Dwarf need pants hemmed all the time!
