Does anyone know of a vegan biscuit recipe I can cook with 6 and 7 year olds.?

As part of an English Lesson focusing on Instructions I am going to be baking bisuits with my class. One of my class are vegan and so I need to make vegan biscuits. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Does anyone know of a vegan biscuit recipe I can cook with 6 and 7 year olds.?
2 cups flour


1 tbsp baking powder


1/2 tsp salt


4 tbsp margarine


3/4 cup soy milk


Preparation:


Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.


Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Using a fork, blend the margarine into the dry ingredients until the mixture breaks down into fine particles.





Add the soy milk and stir until the particles cling together. Turn out onto a floured bread board or countertop and knead for 1 to 2 minutes or until the dough is smooth. Add more flour as needed if the dough is sticky.





With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into rounds (a drinking glass works well), place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Ingredients





4oz soya marg


1oz sieved icing sugar


5oz plain flour


bar of your favourite vegan chocolate, melted





Notes





These are nice with a few drops of vanilla essence added at the creaming stage.





Instead of the chocolate topping you can sprinkle the biscuits with sugar before cooking (although the choccie topping is best!).


Method





Cream the marg and sugar until very soft. Add the flour and mix well.





Using a piping bag, pipe the mixture into fingers, rosettes and rings onto a greased baking tray.





Chill in a fridge for 15 minutes.





Bake in a moderate oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire tray.





Cover the biscuits with melted chocolate and leave to set.



I made some great Vegan banana muffins for a vegan friend - it wasn't this recipe, but it was similar (not cookies, but still a recipe)





Vegan Banana Muffins


These flavorful muffins are a healthy and delicious family favorite! A variation on this recipe is to add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips before baking.


SERVES 12 , 12 muffins (change servings and units)


4 ripe bananas


1/2 cup brown sugar or pure maple syrup


1/2 cup vegetable oil


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1 teaspoon cardamom powder


3/4 teaspoon salt


1 cup whole wheat flour


1 1/2 cups white flour


1 teaspoon baking powder


1 teaspoon baking soda


Directions


1Preheat oven to 350 degrees


2Grease or place cups in tin for 12 muffins.


3Mash bananas in a bowl.


4Add oil, sugar or maple syrup, salt, cinnomon and cardomon and mix.


5Add flours, baking powder and baking soda and mix.


6Spoon into muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes until muffins are done and slightly browned on top.



Biscuits





Ingredients:





1 cup unbleached flour (if available)


1 cup whole wheat flour (keeps best in fridge)


1/4 cup wheat germ (keeps best in fridge)


1 tablespoon baking powder (I prefer Featherweight aluminum-free)


1/2 teaspoon Salt Sense (lower sodium, but other salt is fine)


1/4 cup canola oil (or vegetable or light olive oil)


6-8 oz. almond milk (or soy milk, rice milk, etc., any-fat version)





Directions:





Use a large bowl. Stir the dry ingredients together.





Pour in the oil, then cut it in with a pastry blender or two butter knives until mixture is pebbly -- small pebbles throughout.





Gradually stir in the milk. I eyeball it at this point, pouring straight from the container. Stop adding milk when the mixture forms a ball, separating from the bowl sides.





Put foil on a baking sheet (or use a nonstick one) and preheat the oven to 450 degrees or so. Divide the dough into 6 to 12 pieces and place on the sheet, evenly spaced. Bake for about 10 minutes -- biscuits will be firm to the touch with a little golden color when done, slightly doughy on the inside.





Good hot or cold, plain or with jam or margarine. Very filling.





Serves: 6-12 biscuits





Preparation time: 20 minutes
Why force vegan rubbish on the majority? I feel sorry for the one child who has it forced on them by their parents. At 6/7 there's no way they decided that of there own free will.
