Can Do Biscuits

Gluten free bread can be a disappointment. It can be dry, brittle and can't hold up to bite into a burger or sandwich. Not these! You CAN have soft, chewy bread!

2 cups GF baking mix
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons margarine
3/4 cup Silk Very Vanilla Soy Milk

Combine first 3 ingredients with fork in medium bowl. Cut in shortening and margarine with fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Slowly mix in milk adjusting if necessary to make thick batter. Spoon onto parchment lined baking sheet with tablespoon. Bake at 450 for 12 minutes.

These are good with gravy, maple butter, margarine, for burgers, or alone! A good comfort food when you just want warm, soft bread.

This recipe is also good to do before a manicure. The margarine and shortening makes hands super soft!

3/4 cup sugar
Softened both of:
1/2 cup Earth Balance Buttery Stick
1/2 cup Earth Balance Shortening Stick
2-1/4 cups gluten free baking mix
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of sea salt
Sugar for shaping

Heat oven to 325. In mixer beat the Earth Balance Sticks with sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in baking mix, baking powder and salt. Dough will seem dry but as you pull pieces to roll into 1/2" balls it comes together. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet 1" apart.

Flatten the balls slightly with sugar coated bottom of a glass. Bake for 8-10 minutes. They puff slightly. Allow to cool on cookie sheet. Melt in your mouth goodness!

Try not to stack when storing.
