METHOD

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C, or gas mark 7). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a food processor, combine the flour and nuts. Pulse until the nuts are chopped, leaving a few larger pieces. Pulse a few times to incorporate the salt and baking powder.

Pulse in the oil and nut butter just to combine. Pulse in the blended tofu or yogurt until a crumbly (but not dry) dough forms. Gather the dough on a piece of parchment paper and pat it into a 6-inch (15-cm) square.

Make nine 2-inch (5-cm) square biscuits. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
