Quick Tea Ring
Mom only made this a few times a year. Especially welcome on a cold winter day.
Set oven to 400°
2 cups flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk (approx.)
Sift dry ingredients into bowl. Cut in shortening. Add milk to moisten. Turn out on lightly floured board and knead 4 or 5 times. Roll or pat into rectangle.
3 tbsp. melted butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup raisins
Combine melted butter and brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins. Spread over dough. Roll as for jelly roll. Place sealed edge down on baking sheet and join and seal ends to form a ring. With scissors, make cuts 2/3 of way through at 1” intervals. Turn each section on its side and brush with melted butter.
Bake until well browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
Glaze
1/2 cup icing sugar
milk
Almond flavouring (or vanilla)
Mix all together, to form runny icing and spread over ring while still warm.
