1/4 teaspoon salt

5 tbs veg oil

195ml soy milk

2 tsp vinegar

Preheat oven to 200/ gas 6

Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl.

Add oil, soy cream, rice milk and vinegar to a bowl and stir until mixed. Combine and mix, adding flour as you go until dough forms that is not sticky and clumpy.

Divide into 10 pieces with your hands and roll into a ball, put on greased baking sheet, pat down a little bit and sprinkle with a little sugar/cinnamon and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Add berries (175g) if desired! Blueberries were amazing, also raisins too. To stop them falling just dust them with a little flour after washing them

Yummy!
