Biscuits and Gravy

I just thought I would share a couple recipes that my family and I have enjoyed -- biscuits and gravy. The biscuits are yummy and moist & this gravy recipe is so good! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have! [smile]



Quick Biscuits
4 Cups flower (you can use half white and half whole wheat -- it works out great!)
1/2 oil
1 1/2 cups water/soy milk
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon salt

Measure flour and baking powder in mixing bowl, mix well. Emulsify oil and water/soy milk and mix with flower mixture. Form into biscuits. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Cashew Gravy
1 Cup Raw Cashews (this is not the kind you get from the grocery store that you might snack on)
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
3 Tablespoons Yeast flakes
2 Tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder (yes, that's one TABLESPOON.)
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
4 Cups boiling water

Blend all ingredients w/ one cup boiling water until smooth. (you will want to pulse this a few times before you turn the blinder on full blast. If you don't, the lid will pop off and the ingredients will fly out from all the pressure the hot water gives. ) Add more water as it blends. Pour into pan and stir until thick.
