Herbed Biscuits

Get ready to be excited! This is a healthy biscuit recipe and at the bottom I will be including the nutritional information!

Assuming you follow the sizing directions, you may feel free to enjoy more than one of these yummy dinner biscuits, guilt-free.

You will need:

2 cups white flour

1 tbsp white flour (for your work surface, not to mix with)

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp dried thyme

1/4 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp crushed, dried rosemary

1/4 cup margarine

3/4 cup + 2 tbsp original or unsweetened soymilk

Combine all dry ingredients (except 1 tbsp flour) in medium mixing bowl. Mix in margarine with blender till crumbly. If you grab a hand full with your hand, you want it to hold its shape while still, but fall apart when you move your hand a bit.

Add milk, mixing with a fork until moistened. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of flour onto your kneading surface to prepare to roll out your dough. Knead 4-5 minutes and then into a large round 1 inch think sheet.

Cut into 2 in rounds. I used the end of a sippy cup because it's all I had that was round and 2 inches across. You can use whatever, it doesn't really matter, just cover the tip in flour so your dough doesn't stick to it.

Place the dough rounds, sides touching, on a ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. This whole recipe makes about 1 1/2 dozen biscuits.

Serve with your favorite soup or as a side for your favorite dinner dish. These may even add a kick to your Saturday morning breakfast meal as the spices add great flavor, but are not over-powering.

Either way, enjoy!
