Ingredients




cup Spelt Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 pch Salt
cup Margarine chilled
cup Soy Milk lite
teaspoon Margarine melted

Preparation

1 A melt-in-your mouth texture will make these a favorite breakfast treat. Experiment with adding basil, dried onion, and oregano for herbed biscuits, or raisins, finely chopped nuts, and orange juice (instead of soy milk) for a sweet version. 2 Heat oven to 450F. Grease a lg baking sheet. In lg bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. With pastry cutter or two knives, cut in margarine until mixture resembles fine crumbs. 3 Stir in soy milk until a soft dough forms and mixture pulls away from sides of bowl; do not overmix. 4 Turn dough out onto generously floured board. Knead gently (about 10 times). Pat dough out to between 1/4- and 1/2" thick. Cut with 2-1/2" biscuit cutter. Re-roll and cut scraps until remaining dough is used. Place on baking sheet and brush with melted margarine. 5 Bake biscuits about 10 min. or until very lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temp. 6 Mary Clifford, R.D., is a dietitian in Virginia and a nutrition advisor for The Vegetarian Resource Group.
