Biscuits - Vegan

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup shortening non-hydrogenated
• 3/4 cup rice milk or 3/4 cup almond milk

Steps:

• Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir them up real good with a fork Cut the shortening into bits and stir it into the mix It should not look very good yet
• Add the liquid and stir until a dough forms Gather the dough into a large ball without kneading it much too much kneading will yield bisquits that are not very flaky Roll it out on a surface floured with whole-wheat flour to about an inch 25 cm thick Cut it into round bisquits with a floured cookie cutter or a glass Or cut them
• into any other shape you prefer Scones are often triangular for instance
• Bake on an ungreased unfloured baking sheet at 475 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes The bisquits edges should be browned but not black The whole-wheat flour on the surface will be nicely toasted and add little speckles to the bisquits
• Bisquits are also quite tasty when warmed over They store well in the fridge and can be frozen Warm them up in the oven a toaster oven or the microwave
