Butterscotch Tea Biscuits

An old recipe from my teens!  These are really simple pinwheels that are fabulous.

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Place 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp brown sugar in the bottom of 12 muffin tins.  Melt together slightly.
3. Sift together into a bowl:  1 3/4 cups once sifted all purpose flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt.
4. Cut in with a pastry blender or two knives 1/4 cup chilled shortening.
5. Add and mix lightly with a fork 2/3 cup milk.
6. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly 16 to 20 times until dough holds shape in soft ball.
7. Roll out to 1/4" thickness in a 12" by 6 " rectangle.
8. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with 1/2 cup brown sugar mixed with 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
9. Roll up as a jelly roll.  Cut into 12 one inch slices.  Place one slice in each muffin pan.
10. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.  Turn out onto a cooling rack.  Serve hot.
