Making biscuits doesn’t have to be challenging, says Paolo Vasapolli, executive chef in Food and Catering Services.

As proof, he offers a recipe that requires just three ingredients to produce a half-dozen biscuits.

Vegan Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1 cup of self-rising flour
• 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
• ½ to ¾ cup soy milk

Instructions

1. Blend flour and shortening together to resemble pea-sized lumps.
2. Add soy milk and blend until ingredients are combined, taking care not to over mix.
3. Roll out the dough to about ¾" thickness and cut into biscuits.
4. Bake at 400F degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Vasapolli adds he likes to serve these biscuits with jam. Find more recipes — as well as a place to submit your own — on the Healthy Eating website.
