Greetings everyone!

I joined this forum becuase I have found a love and respect for baking. I've always cooked but never baked. Maybe becuase I see cooking as an art and baking as a science....btw: I'm not that scientific.

I've been having a bit of trouble with a vegan recipe that I found for making vegan "buttermilk biscuits". My batches have been coming out very inconsistent lately. I would like to make a big batch but I'm very hesitant because I don't want to end up making30 biscuits that taste like pretzels.

Here's the recipe:

1 c flour

1  1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 tsp vegetable shortening

for butermilk

1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar AND 1/2c almond milk set aside to curdle.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I will be doing a bit of baking for a vegan family with children.  If someone has good recipes to share, or good websites to refer me to, I would appreciate it.  There is a lot of stuff on-line, and am trying to find recipes that are sure to work.  I am thinking about baking some muffins, cookies, maybe some quick breads, brownies, etc.

Thank you!
