Preparation
Step 1
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl and then add to the dry. Get you hands in and press together to form a stiff slightly sticky ball of dough, if it is not sticky enough to hold together to roll then add a tiny bit more soy yoghurt or water.
You may chill the dough if you find it easier to work with that way but I didn’t find I needed to.
Roll out in a floured surface or between two layers of baking parchment. Cut out shapes and lay on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, keeping a close eye to watch they don’t burn.
Allow to cool fully before decorating as you wish. They can be frozen either plain or decorated.
