List of Ingredients
1 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pinch salt
cinnamon and nutmeg to taste (use lightly)
chocolate chips, fruit spread (filling)Recipe
Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a bowl, beat egg substitute, sugars and vanilla until light and fluffy. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and spices. Add flour to egg substitute mixture a little at a time, mixing well. It will form a stiff ball at the end. Split into two portions. On a floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick rectangle approximately 10 by 12 inches. Use plenty of flour and turn often as it does tend to stick.
Spread filling out evenly leaving about a two inch edge along the top and about a 1/2 inch edge along the sides. I usually make one chocolate (it doesn't take more than a handful or two of chocolate chips spread out evenly) and one with a fruit spread (like apricot) and chopped nuts. Roll it up jelly roll style (be gentle, but holes are repairable) an
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and fairly hard to the touch. Allow to cool completely. Cut with a serrated bread knife into 1/2 slices. If they are not crisp enough you can put the slices back into the oven for a 5 to 7 minutes. Serving Suggestions: There are many variations you can try with this recipe and it doubles very well. You can add a couple of tablespoons of orange juice and orange zest to the dough. You could try adding cardamom instead of the cinnamon and nutmeg and making a filling of honey and chopped pistachios for a middle eastern flavor. You could even leave the filling out altogether for a less sweet biscuit.
