4. Add the milk, a little at a time, and mix with your hand until a dough forms.
5. Knead a couple of times and shape the dough into a round shape and using a rolling pin roll it out to 3/4-inch thickness on a floured surface.
6. Cut into 2 1/2 or 3/4-inch thick rounds.
7. Place the eggless biscuits on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. Insert a fork or knife into a bscuit to make sure it’s cooked.
8. Serve the eggless biscuits warm, with butter and jam.

Cooking Tip

For a vegan version, use unsweetened soy milk instead of regular milk and vegan margarine instead of butter. If using with a savory gravy, you can add 1/2 tsp onion powder and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to spice up the biscuits.
