Biscuits Made with Soy Milk

I am totally out of milk and half and half on a Saturday morning. Saturdays are when I attempt to give my kids something other than cereal. Unfortunately, those buttery, flaking biscuits I wanted will have to be made with soy milk. This is something I have never done, so here it goes. These are not dairy-free, cause I gots(yes, I said 'gots') me plenty o' butter, but darn, I wish I had some half and half.

Here is the recipe:
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t baking soda
3/4 c soy milk, with 1 t of vinegar
6 T butter.

For those of you who hate horror scenes, turn away. I mixed everything by hand. Okay, you can turn back now. I patted the dough out and using 2-inch biscuit cutters got about 10 biscuits and my son ate the remaining dough. I threw them into a nine inch baking pan at 425 and prayed I would not forget they were in the oven.I have been known to burn a few things. They seemed to take longer to brown than I expected and fear of them being too dry hit me. At the 16 minute mark, they were still not brown. I waited two more minutes and took them out, They were brown on the bottom. They seemed okay, but I will need my dairy next time.

I could not find my camera, so I used my son's Nintendo DS for photos. I'll post shortly.

Sixty Minute Rolls Recipe

• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 packages active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  

Combine milk, water and butter. Bring to baby-bottle warm. To start the yeast fast, dissolve the sugar and the yeast in the milk mixture. Add the flour, a little at a time, until you get your desired consistency.

Knead and place in an oiled, covered container. Let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Punch down and shape into about 24 small rolls. Put in a shallow, greased baking pan. Sides should just touch--don't pack. You have to work quickly because this dough rises fast! Let the shaped rolls rise for 15 minutes.

Bake in a preheated 450° oven for 12 minutes or until nicely browned.

40-Minute Hamburger Buns Recipe | Taste of Home Recipes

I was in a hurry and with no car, needed buns. I walked to a nearby Target, a CVS, and a liquor store. No buns. I was having deluxe burgers and was desperate to not use regular bread. I tried this recipe and now my hubby says he no longer want store bought buns. This recipe was an awesome find.
