Basic Biscuit Crust

Directions

Sift flour, salt if desired, baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl.

Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the margarine into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.

In a measruing cup, combine soy milk and honey or syrup.

Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork to form a stiff dough.

Add more buttermilk if dough is too dry.

Knead lightly in bowl, about 3 to 5 minutes, until the dough is no longer sticky.

Then turn out onto lightly floured surface.

Roll out into desired shape.

Makes enough crust to cover a 9- by 12-inch baking pan.
