One of my favorite things to wake up to are fresh buscuits. I would suspect that I'm not alone when it come to this little liking of mine. The recipe below is both vegan and delicious. In case you are unfamiliar with other biscuit recipes, this recipe uses less than half the fat of most traditional biscuit recipes. The result is quite nice even with the cut in fat, and they are especially good with guava jelly or your favorite jelly!
Vegan Biscuits
2 cups of all purpose flour (Arrowhead Mills is great)
1 tablesoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder (fresh)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons of earth balance
3/4+ cup of organic, plain soy milk
1 1/2 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
First, measure out just a little over 3/4 cup of soy milk and add the vinegar/lemon juice. Let sit. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In a bowl or food processor, mix the flour, sugar, salt, & baking powder. Then, cut it the earth balance till only pea sized pieces remain. Add the vegan buttermilk (soy milk+acid) and mix gently to form a uniform mass adding flour if too sticky. Do not knead. Gently flatten the dough evenly & use a cookie cutter to form shapes. Bake for about 10-12 minutes.

um!
*Vegetable oil can be used instead of earth balance, but the buiscuit is different-still good, but texturally different.
*Serves 6. Serving Size 86 g (2 large biscuits)-6.7 grams fat (3.8g saturated), 230 calories, 0 cholesterol, 0 trans fats, 350mg sodium.
