When I think of "grandma's biscuits", I don't think of soy milk. I think
of buttermilk or plain milk, at least. The funniest part is that, of
course, they want you to use Arrowhead Mills flour, Hain salt, and WestSoy
soy milk, all of which are made by "The Hain Celestial Group, Inc."

Both of these pages have "The Hain Celestial Group, Inc." on the bottom of
their pages:

A grass-flavored biscuit is not something I'm even willing to try. I know
we all feel free to substitute whatever we want in recipes, but to me,
suggesting the use of soy milk in a recipe for biscuits is a laughable
attempt at getting another dollar in sales for their products, and
referring to it with the "Just like Grandma used to make" line is
hilarious.

Hopefully, they're kidding about the "just like grandma used to make."
OTOH, the Chinese restaurant down the street makes a soy milk custard
that you'd swear was made of the freshest cream - no grass taste at
all. If this is possible, then one might be able to make a great
biscuit without milk.

A. Dark chocolate has no lactose.
B. Milk chocolate had VERY LITTLE lactose, such that most folks with
lactose intolerance can tolerate a certain amount, and if you swallow
a Lactaid first, then no problem at all.

A few years back, I ate at the "Luck You" restaurant (you can imagine
what I thought of, every time I saw the name, which was often, since it
was in the same Asian shopping center where my brother's wife worked).
At the end of the meal, we were brought a complimentary dessert. It
appeared to be some kind of sweet custard. My brother explained that it
was probably some kind of tofu, since many Asians are lactose
intolerant. It didn't look too great, but it was very good.

I've never had soy milk, but I can't help but think that it must be
related to tofu. I have eaten tofu many times, and although I enjoy the
flavor, it is well known for not having much flavor of its own, and
picking up the flavor of what is cooked with it. Is soy milk that
different?

Don't feel sorry for me, I have no problems with chocolate. OTOH, being
a guy, I can take it or leave the stuff. Maybe you should stick with
French food...

Wellll, if grandma lived during AD 25-220,, she might have...

The oldest evidence of soy milk production is from China where a kitchen
scene proving use of soy milk is incised on a stone slab dated around A.D.
25-220.[1] It also appeared in a chapter called Four Taboos (Szu-Hui) in the
A.D. 82 book called Lunheng by Wang Chong, possibly the first written record
of soy milk. Evidence of soy milk is rare prior to the 20th century and
widespread usage before then is unlikely.[1]

Most of the soy milk deserts have a pale white, shiny, semi-translucent
appearance. Typically they're set with agar-agar. The stuff I've had at
this Chinese restaurant is a brilliant white with a non-shiny surface. I
can't tell what it's made of but its consistency is that of a very soft
tofu rather than any egg-set custard. I've never seen it anywhere else.

Tofu is made from coagulated soy milk. Soy milk tastes pretty much like
what it is - a colloid or suspension of ground up beans. I don't care
much for it. Near as I can see, it's used as a dairy substitute mainly
because it's white and a liquid. Personally, I'd rather have Tang and
call it "orange juice." :-)

Heh. I tend to substitute oyster sauce for soya sauce, glycerine with

Means I can play around with my wok without worrying about having to

Well, forget about what I said about being equal... I remember my
friend, back in the 70s, telling me that soybeans were the food of the
future. To a great extent, that didn't happen as he envisioned. However,
ferreting out soy beans in today's foods must be a constant for you. It
really is a minefield out there. Good luck to you.

I have to agree. This is a ridiculous rendition of "Grandma's" biscuts and
I don't care who their grandma is/was. My grandparents never heard of soy
anything, much less soy mik. Make biscuits using soy milk? Don't think so!

I much prefer Blue Diamond Vanilla Almond Milk over soy milk *any* day. My
gosh, almond milk is good even if you aren't trying to stay away from
dairy products.

"Cheese" made from soy milk is about as tasteless as fat-free cheese.
I've eaten the stuff and only a version containing pimentos had any
taste.

You're right that tofu production is similar to cheese making. I'm not a
big tofu eater but occasionally, tofu with shoyu with a sprinkling of
dried bonito flakes is sublime. I make mabo tofu which is tasty as heck.

Hey, it's 2010--lot of people around whose grandparents were Hippies,
some of whom were strongly vegetarian. And if you've got enough weed in
those biscuits nobody's going to notice the soy milk.
