Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup (425 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) unsalted margarine
  • 2/3 cup (150 mL) lentil purée (see notes)
  • 2/3 cup (150 mL) 1% milk

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Cut margarine into mixture and add lentil purée (still cutting) until it resembles coarse oatmeal.
  • Add milk and fold into flour mixture until ingredients are just incorporated.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat down to 1 1/2 – 2-inches (4-5 cm) thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch (5 cm) cookie cutter. Dust cookie cutter with flour to help prevent dough from sticking.

I just received the cooking with pulses small booklet in the mail. I have made the baked biscuits twice and I throughly enjoyed them . I will make again and have shared the Alberta Pulse Growers URL with my family and friends. I look forward to trying out more recipes.
