…or Monday if you prefer. You can never go wrong with a simple made-from-scratch biscuit recipe, especially if the recipe doesn’t require milk or eggs. Perfect for anyone on a vegan cleanse diet at the moment! This recipe uses only five ingredients, and if you’re on no such restriction, feel free to drizzle melted butter and honey on top. Or ladle sausage gravy over them. I’m betting they’re great either way. To find the recipe, click here or see below.
Homemade Biscuits (No Eggs, No Dairy) from Cooks.com
2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. oil or soft shortening
2/3 c. water
Mix all ingredients together. Add enough flour to knead easily. Knead on floured board about 30 seconds. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with small cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes 15 to 20 biscuits.

I make sourdough biscuits with no egg and no dairy also — it’s good to have a few options at the ready. Thanks.

I know, I should be ashamed of myself especially after seeing your lovely biscuits, Yummy. Marion requested biscuits with Sunday dinner, meat loaf, mashed potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts. What did I do? I opened up a can of Pillsbury!!!
Shame on me. You make it sound so easy and they look simply heavenly….
Thanks for sharing…

It’s weird because what we call biscuits is what you call cookies but I’m not sure what we’d call these; they look like scones… but would scones be something different there?
Whatever they are, they look good though 🙂

What beautiful biscuits, soft and fluffy 😀

There really is nothing more comforting to me than the smell of biscuits! I think grandma! 🙂 I don’t have a reliable recipe, so I’m really eager to give these a try! It’s 105 degrees, but I may not be able to wait for cooler weather! 🙂 Debra

Oh these look good. I think we call them scones. Perfect with jam and cream. I haven’t tried them with gravy xx
Aug 16, 2012 @ 08:37:00
Those are like the ones my mom makes (and has made for as long as I can remember.) So good hot with butter and honey. 🙂
Aug 16, 2012 @ 10:36:17
Mmm, you’re right, you really can’t go wrong with a biscuit. Warm, fluffy, homey, perfect.

They look and sound so good. Hope the cleanse is working its magic!
Aug 17, 2012 @ 07:05:09
I´ve never seen a biscuit with water before. Do they come out more bready instead of cakey? I just admire you for sticking to your cleanse! Have a great weekend!
Aug 17, 2012 @ 13:30:31
These look perfect! Amazing to thing they can be part of your cleanse. It’s looking a little easier, but I still think you are incredible/insane. 🙂
Aug 17, 2012 @ 20:25:22
My friend is going through a cleanse at the moment, I’ll pass these on to her! Looks good!
Aug 18, 2012 @ 08:22:32
I was never able to understand how a biscuit could taste good without dairies, but then a friend of mine had made some recently and they turned out realy delicious.
Cant wait to try your recipe! thanks for sharing! =D
Aug 18, 2012 @ 23:04:37
I adore biscuits and haven’t made them in ages…so happy to be reminded and have a recipe right here at my fingertips. Thanks!
Aug 20, 2012 @ 03:23:57
Did you just say 5 ingredients ONLY!? Wow I’m so impressed! I love these biscuits of yours look. Although I am not vegan and don’t care if egg or milk are in it, but oh boy I want to taste these biscuits. Look very delicious!
