Biscuits

2 cups flour

1 T baking powder

1 T sugar

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup fat that is solid at room temperature. (I use lard most often, but the vegan shortenings also work well. Earth Balance and the vegan margarines do not work as they are soft not solid at room temperature)

1 can of coconut cream well shaken

Mix dry ingredients and cut in the fat of your choice. Mix just enough that you have little flakes of fat and flour. Dump in the can of coconut cream and mix lightly until everything is moist. ?Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes. Makes ~ 12 biscuits.
