Light 'n Easy Biscuits

Published April 2011

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pure warm water
1 T dry active yeast
1 T honey
2-1/2 cups flour, any combination*
1 t. sea salt
3 T olive oil
1/2 cup water or soymilk

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in water, add honey. Let rise to proof.

In a bowl, sift flours and salt together. Using a pastry blender, cut in the oil or soy butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; add rest of liquid.

Add yeast mixture. Mix and knead lightly. Roll out 3/4” thick on floured surface. Cut with biscuit cutter.  Let rise 20 minutes.  

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Makes 1 dozen.

*Whole wheat pastry, barley or oat flour + 1 T soy flour for extra nutrition is a good combination.

Bonus:  Be sure to get next month’s recipe for Country Gravy to go with these scrumptious biscuits, for a Classic Southern Breakfast.  One of Ron’s favorites.
