Vegan Tea Biscuits

Vegan Tea Biscuits- so delicious and quick to make! You can add whatever you like to this recipe ......such as vegan cheese, ham, raisins,etc. Make them your own!!

You will need:

2 cups all purpose flour

4 tsps baking powder

1 tsp salt - less if you are adding cheese or ham as they both contain salt

1/2 cup Crisco, all vegetable shortening - room temperature 

3/4 cup almond milk....or any milk substitute beverage 

Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a large baking sheet.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk together.

Add your room temperature shortening to flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or knife to cut the shortening into the flour so that it resembles a coarse texture.

At this point, you can stir in your shredded cheese or chopped ham...or whatever you like. 

Stir in the milk. Stir until it forms a ball then put it on a floured surface and knead it until it comes together and is smooth. If too mucky, add more flour.

Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Then using a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter, cut circles and place on cookie sheet. Roll out the excess dough to make more biscuits. 

Let rest for about 10 minutes then place in a 400 F preheated oven.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

This recipe should make 10 biscuits.

So good you won’t miss the eggs or butter.
