biscuits

 

2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance)

3/4 cup rice or soy milk

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

 

In a medium bowl or food processor, sift or process together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the margarine and cut into the flour until it's in small pieces. Or, process in the food processor until the margarine is in small pieces. Stir in the rice or soy milk a bit at a time until the mixture starts forming a ball.

 

Roll out and cut into the shape and size desired. Bake at 450 F on an ungreased cookie sheet for about thirteen minutes.

 

gravy

 

4 tablespoons oil

1 cup vegan burger crumbles or TVP

2 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon fennel

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 1/2 cups rice milk

2 tablespoon corn starch, mixed with 1/4 cup cold water to make a slurry

 

In a large saucepan, heat the oil and brown the burger crumbles or TVP. Add the flour and spices and heat through for a minute or two. Pour in the rice milk and stir. In a cup, stir the corn starch and cold water together until the corn starch is dissolved and then add it to the gravy. Stir and simmer the gravy for about 3 minutes, until the gray is thickened. Allow to cool for several minutes before serving.

 

These go really well with a tofu scramble ...
