Dairy Free Soy Free Homemade Biscuits

Here is an easy recipe for homemade biscuits. We eat them with everything from jelly, sausage, and bacon to fried chicken. For the fried chicken I use my wing recipe just without the sauce (just the breading). Just cut your chicken into thin cutlets instead of wing shapes. Here's the recipe Dairy Soy Free Fried Chicken

I also make them with the dairy soy free buttery spread on top.

Dairy Soy Free Biscuits

Ingredients:

Pam for Grilling Cooking Spray or Non Stick Foil

2 Cups Self-Rising Flour

1/2 Cups Spectrum Dairy Soy Free Shortening or Lard (I might even use more, I eye it)

2/3 to 3/4 Cups Water (I use 3/4)

*Optional: Earth's Balance No Dairy No Soy Buttery Spread

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 500°F. Coat baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray or foil.

2. Measure flour into large bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until crumbs are the size of peas. Blend in just enough water with fork until dough leaves sides of bowl.

3.Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently 2 to 3 times. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut using floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet 1 inch apart for crisp sides or almost touching for soft sides.

4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

*Optional: Melt buttery spread in microwave and at the end of cook time for biscuits brush on butter. Put back in oven on broil for 2 minutes. Keep your eye on them they burn fast!

UPDATE: Please make sure to double check ingredients each time you buy. I hope I never overlook anything but it’s possible and ingredients can change. A lot of my posts are over two years old and since I have gone back dairy soy free I have discovered a few items I use to buy all the time that now have soy in them.

*If you use All-Purpose Flour: Combine 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt before cutting in shortening. Follow directions above.

Dairy Free Soy Free Ice Cream

UPDATE: Please make sure to double check ingredients each time you buy. I hope I never overlook anything but it’s possible and ingredients can change. A lot of my posts are over two years old and since I have gone back dairy soy free I have discovered a few items I use to buy all the time that now have soy in them.

So Delicious makes a dairy free soy free ice cream. I tried the chocolate and it was pretty good. To me it tasted like chocolate ice cream mixed with chocolate whipped frosting. So if you have a craving for ice cream you are in luck. I have found this ice cream at Publix and Food City. The downside is it is not cheap. A pint cost over five dollars. I only tried the chocolate but they had mint and vanilla too.

*Be careful when buying this because there are larger containers for a better price but they are not soy free. Make sure you get the containers that say dairy and soy free.

Dairy Free Soy Free Waffles (or Pancakes)

*they look a little off because I add syurp to my batter, see alterations below

I received a waffle maker for Christmas and ever since then I have been making waffles like crazy. I put the basic recipe then listed some alterations I've tried out. *You can also use this recipe for Pancakes.

Basic Pancake or Waffle Mix

4 Cups Self Rising Flour
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Beaten Eggs
2 Cups Water
2 Tablespoons Oil (I Use Corn Oil)

Makes 16 Waffles or 20 Pancakes (16 waffles might sound like a lot but these freeze and can be reheated in the toaster easy & fast, great go to breakfast or snack).

Directions

Mix dry ingredients first.

Then add in beaten eggs, oil, & water.

Spray waffle maker or pan with spray (I use Pam for Grilling, check yours for dairy & soy). Pour into waffle maker or pan. My waffles take around 6 minutes but your waffle maker might be different. Flip pancakes after they start to bubble.

Alterations:

*My husband came up with the idea to pour the syrup right in with the batter. This is a great way to feed toddlers waffles or eat them on the go, no sticky mess. I did this in the picture above.

*Another alteration I can give my husband credit for is cooking sausage and crumbling it up in the batter along with the syrup. So good! This is my favorite way to eat them. Probably would work with cooked crumbled bacon too. Also a great grab and go meal.

*Add of course you can add fruit (blueberries, strawberries, apples, etc) or chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life Mini Chips).

*Ok this one might sound odd but it was also good and your kids will love it. Pizza Waffles! What you do is cut the sugar in half or even more. Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepperoni chopped up. Then heat up some pizza sauce for dipping. My husband liked adding chopped red onion and green peppers but that might be too much for most kids.

Waffles are fun, easy, and very customizable.

Make sure to check all your ingredients (including syrups, butters, and anything you add into the mix like sausage, bacon, pepperoni, chocolate, etc.). *I use Earth Balance Soy Free Buttery Spread for butter.

1/2 cup butter (I use Dairy Free Soy Free Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour (or spray, I use Pam for Grilling, check your spray for dairy & soy) an 8-inch square pan.

In separate bowl mix 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder (omit salt & baking powder if using self-rising flour).Then beat dry ingredients into wet ingredients until it all looks wet.

Spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook, brownies will continue to cook out of oven. Let sit for about an hour before cutting.

This is a quick post to show everyone some dairy free soy free Natural Buttery Spread I found, Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread. The spread is great for replacing butter in most recipes and on toast, vegetables, etc. I used it to make homemade brownies (which I'll post soon), garlic bread (using Udis hamburger buns), on potatoes, etc. I found the Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread at Publix, Food City, and Walmart.

Dairy Free Soy Free Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

UPDATE: Please make sure to double check ingredients each time you buy. I hope I never overlook anything but it’s possible and ingredients can change. A lot of my posts are over two years old and since I have gone back dairy soy free I have discovered a few items I use to buy all the time that now have soy in them.

Yesterday we got a surprise snow day.

In honor of the snow day (and my allergies/cold), I really wanted chicken noodle soup. Since I cannot find a canned dairy soy free version, I experimented with making the soup from scratch. I pieced together my recipe from different recipes I reviewed. For my first attempt at homemade chicken noodle soup I think it turned out pretty good. Since much of the country is in a winter storm right now homemade soup is perfect. Use whatever vegetables you have handy. I used a mix of frozen and fresh because I did not want to go to the store, and it's what I had. As always check your ingredients (even some broths have soy).

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

2-3 pounds chicken (I used boneless skinless breast I cut into cubes, you can use whatever kind you want)
1 Quart (32 Ounces) Chicken Broth (I used Progresso)
2 Quarts Water
1/4 teaspoons Dried Marjoram
1/4 teaspoons Dried Thyme
3 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 tablespoons pepper
Vegetables (I used frozen carrots, fresh zucchini & yellow squash, and yellow onions)
Noodles (I used Spaghetti noodles, but you can use your favorite)

Instructions:

Combine chicken broth, water, chicken, and seasoning in large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and skim off top of soup. Cover and cook for an hour.

Skim off top. Check chicken for tenderness after an hour. If you used bone in chicken remove chicken and take off bone. Put back in pot. Add vegetables and cook another hour.

Add noodles. Bring back up to a boil for about 3 minutes (make sure all noodles are submerged). Lower to a simmer and cover for 30 minutes.

Add additional salt and pepper to taste.

Hopefully this will make a great winter meal for you and your family.
