Austrian Biscuits

Ingredients

 * 2 cups all-purpose flour
 * 3 teaspoons baking powder
 * 1 teaspoon salt
 * 1/4 cup shortening
 * 3/4 cup soy, rice, or almond drink

Directions

 * Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir them up real good with a fork.
 * Cut the shortening into bits and stir it into the mix.


 * Add the liquid and stir until a dough forms.
 * Gather the dough into a large ball.
 * Roll it out on a surface floured with whole-wheat flour to about an inch (2.5 cm) thick.
 * Cut it into round bisquits with a floured cookie cutter or a glass.


 * Bake on an ungreased, unfloured baking sheet at 475 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes.
 * The bisquits' edges should be browned but not black.
 * The whole-wheat flour on the surface will be nicely toasted and add little speckles to the bisquits.


 * Serve smothered in gravy, with your favorite jelly, or as a side for soup or vegetables.
