Yes Hope the carnation/evaporated milk is creamy use the whole milk not 2% I love these little tea buns. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy. :) Bonita

[@davidderminer544]

I don't know if it's because I live in Toledo, Ohio or if I have just lived a sheltered life, but I have never had tea buns. They look like a cross between scones and southern biscuits. They have earned a spot on my to-do list! Thanks for sharing them!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi David: Thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting my channel, these tea buns are pretty much the same as a scone and a southern biscuits. Some cultural foods are the same but different names. They are so quick and easy to make and its hard to only have one, thanks again for your message. Bonita

[@janefurneaux2801]

Here's a hint for those with arthritic hands and find it difficult to rub in the butter in the flour: I freeze my butter and right when it is time to add the butter, I grate it with a box grater (large holes) and then just stir it into the flour. It's easier for me to add the raisins before the liquid. This recipe is the same as mind and I love it!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Jane: Thank you so much for your helpful tips and for visiting my channel, I'm sure there is people reading this today is pretty glad you shared this info with them. Tea buns are the best and it will never get old for sure. Enjoy Bonita

[@vh2337]

I do the same because of bad arthritis fingers but instead of using the box grater which is difficult for me, I use the shredding attachment on my food processor. Takes about 5 seconds and no stress on my fingers. The only negative is cleaning up the butter off the attachment but some nice hot water does the trick.

I am going to try this. I miss having tea buns. There is a bakery in our neighborhood that use to sell them (back when the father had the store, now that the son has it. It's all high price coffee I can't pronounce and weird hipster cakes). So glad I found your page, thanks for sharing and teaching.

Okie dokie, we (my daughter and I) made them, delicious. We made two small batches. What we did was cut the recipe in half...one half with regular sugar and the other with trivia. Diabetes runs in my family. Both batches, fantastic. Going to put this on the make again list 😄

Hi Anita: You are very welcome and thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm glad you enjoyed my recipe and video. Thats a good question?

[@BpGregor]

I like the way you bake. You remind me of a baker I knew as a child. He had his own bakery and everything was delicious. He did have some equipment to help him mix, but he used his hands a lot. To me, that makes things taste better. One question about the butter: would you suggest putting it in the freezer about half an hour before it is needed? What about using brown or washed raw sugar? I live in the Philippines and white sugar is very expensive since it must be processed. Brown sugar here still has some molasses in it. Washed raw sugar is basically removing everything which was squeezed out of the cane except the sugar. It's more expensive than just plane brown sugar, but still not as expensive as white sugar.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you for your message, you can use raw sugar, organic or light brown, it will still turn out amazing. I'm glad you enjoy my style of baking, when I was a very young girl I worked in a small bakery and everything was made by hand we started work at 5am and work till 5pm. I have many years of experience and I still love baking and cooking, have a Merry Christmas :) Bonita

[@BpGregor]

Bonita's Kitchen I also wanted to ask what tea you use? I like English Breakfast or Real Grey. Or, is any tea good with the Raisin Tea Biscuits?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Revd. Gregory aka Ken Bowles English Breakfast is lovely, I usually have Red Rose or Tetley Tea with my tea buns but I guess it's whatever you enjoy most. BONITA

[@peach3611]

[@karenmutrey1693]

I just made these but needed longer than 15 mins. maybe because I made 12 instead of 24. Its 25 mins until done. Do you put them in middle rack? I find they burn in muddle rack

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Karen, Thank you for your message and for stopping by. I'm so glad you made our tea buns recipe. So many different ovens, gas, burners, oil, CONVECTION OR CONVENTIONAL OVENS. It is so tricky to know what type our viewers are using. Usually I would say in the middle rack to be safe because that would give equal heat. But in the convectional ovens you need to set the oven to bake even top and bottom, with mine I need to touch the start button twice to use both burners.... . So I'm thinking you may need to experiment on this one. The next time you make them try a different rack and use the same heat and time. I'm still trying to get use to my oven and I've had it for 5 years. Please follow up and let me know what worked for you. Enjoy and thank you. :) Bonita

Hi Bonita, I made the raisin biscuits and don’t know why they turned out completly flat. I followed the recipe real good. I would love to make them agaen but what do you think happened? Thank you

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you so much for your message and for stopping by. These tea buns are a very easy recipe and I'm not sure why this happened. Sometimes if the baking powder is old it may stop it from rising. Try it again and just notice if the texture of the batter is soft and a little frizzy. This would be good! Also you can adjust the temperture to 375ºf and make use you preheat the oven first. Let me know how it goes. :) Bonita

How make the buns à little bit more gold? They are delicious an very easy to make. Thank you

[@denisesparkes5563]

Bonita I brought back some NL blueberries to Ottawa . Do I need to change the recipe to incorporate frozen blueberries?

[@bonitaskitchen]

No just toss them in some flour before adding them and don't let them thaw and then the blue don't go though the batter. Enjoy to the fullest and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita

[@privatear2001]

Bonita, when you say "cream" instead of evaporated milk, what type of cream? Light, Heavy, or half-and-half - Could any of those be used? Or do you mean the canned cream like Fussels' or Nestle? Thanks. :)

Would that be salted or unsalted butter

Hi Doris, I just clarifed the post, if you use unsalted butter use 1/2 tsp sea salt, if you use salted butter don't use sea salt. I hope this helps and enjoy :) Bonita

[@thecrazysoaplady2497]

Add your raisins to the milk/egg mixture before you do anything else. This gives the raisins time to absorb some of the liquid and "plump up".

[@bonitaskitchen]

Thank you for the lovely tips and for stopping by...have a lovely day. :) Bonita

[@lorettaburt908]

I put a little water of juice in my raisins and let them soak for awhile or overnight . They get so juicy and. Plump..they rise almost 2 inches high ...a ND gets beautifully brown .no EGG..

[@cherieblossom11]

Can you add blueberries instead of raisins?

[@bonitaskitchen]

yes you can or dried cranberries, chopped cherries, whatever you enjoy. But don't work the dough so hard on the blueberries because your dough will go all blue. Enjoy Bonita

[@Anita3kidsS.]

@Bonita's Kitchen Hi Bonita, I LOVE THESE!!!! I've definitely had these at a bakery & they were a tiny bit larger & they had the nerve to charge $1.25 + for each ONE! Not to mention they were over baked & too dry that you would choke on it. I've been cooking & baking from a very early age. ( I was 10 going on 25 lol) I do have a few questions. Would these be considered a scone? I know the ingredients are almost the same depending on what recipe you would use. (i.e.. scones you're adding buttermilk or regular milk or cream & adding baking soda & powder & raisins or blueberries etc. lol ) Just asking your opinion. Love watching your channel. The Raisin Molasses bread you made in another recipe...why AREN'T the loaves all in one size instead of three different ball shapes? Would it not have the same crumb or would it not turn out quite the same? Also, I'm a huge lover of cinnamon...Could it be added to the rasin molasses bread? Sorry for so many questions. Hugs from the USA, ~ Anita 💜🍞🥖🥨🥧

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you for your message, I don't think the vanilla would make a difference to the recipe. But if the mixture is too wet it may spread out more. The texture needs to be soft and firm. Try it again sometime and I hope they tasted good for you. :) Bonita

I tired to make the tea buns but they went flat like a cookie
