Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2/3 cup soy milk

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup whole-grain pastry flour

1 cup unbleached flour

1 tablespoon raw sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup safflower oil

1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes

 

Preheat oven to 450F.

 

In small bowl, combine soy milk with lemon juice. Set aside. (Mixture will

thicken and resemble buttermilk.)

 

In medium bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set

aside.

 

In large bowl, combine oil and mashed sweet potatoes. Alternately add dry

ingredients and soy milk mixture to sweet potatoes to form a soft dough.

 

Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly. (Don't overwork

or biscuit will be tough.) Pat dough into 12 x 9-inch rectangle about 1/2 inch

thick. Cut dough with a floured round biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a

baking sheet, spacing about 1/2 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 8 to 10

minutes. Serve warm.
