VEGAN QUICK BISCUITS



Vegan Quick Biscuits image

This dead simple recipe is an adaptation of one brought to The Times by Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan chef and cookbook author. These delicious biscuits are easy - no rolling or folding required - and the maple "butter" comes together in a snap.

Categories     easy, breads, quick breads

Time 40m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for work surface
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegan margarine, plus extra for brushing
1/2 cup soy, almond or rice milk, plus more as needed
1 cup vegan margarine, at room temperature
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add margarine and cut it roughly into flour using a pastry cutter, until mixture is the texture of coarse meal with a few larger margarine lumps. Work quickly so the margarine does not melt. Add nondairy milk and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overwork.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into an oblong shape, about 1 inch thick. Using a 2-inch floured cookie or biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits out and place them on a baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted margarine and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden. Remove biscuits from oven immediately and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Make the maple "butter": In a mixing bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, whip margarine with maple syrup until light and fluffy. Refrigerate until serving.

SCALLION & CHEDDAR DROP BISCUITS - VEGAN



Scallion & Cheddar Drop Biscuits - Vegan image

Veganized from Gourmet Magazine. These were fantastic! Made for St. Patrick's Day 2012. They turned out fluffy and flaky and were so simple. I used Daiya brand vegan Cheddar cheese shreds, and reduced the amount of cheese to 1 full cup (instead of 1 1/2, which was in the regional recipe) I also used my Pampered Chef Large cookie scoop to make the drop biscuits puffy and even!

VEGAN NUTRITIONAL YEAST (NOOCH) CHEEZY BISCUITS



Vegan Nutritional Yeast (Nooch) Cheezy Biscuits image

These came from my Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula cookbook that uses their brand of nutritional yeast. Theirs is good but I use NOW brand, other flake nooch brands will work too. These are a delightful vegan treat to have with soups, vegan gravies, etc. Any kind of non-dairy milk will work-- just under 1 cup, but whole-wheat pastry flour is a must instead of regular whole-wheat flour.

Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 12 biscuits, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plain unsweetened soymilk (or other non-dairy milk, just under 1 cup see directions)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Pour the soymilk, almond milk, etc. into a glass measuring cup and stir in the lemon juice. Let it rest at room temp for 10 minutes to sour.
  • Place the flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, chili and garlic powders, and salt into a medium mixing bowl and stir them together.
  • Pour the oil into the dry ingredient mix, and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Using a fork, stir in just enough of the soured non-dairy milk so the dough can come together and can form into a large ball-- too much milk will make the dough sticky but not enough will make the biscuits dry.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead it gently until it is smooth (about 25-30 times.) Gently form it into a ball.
  • Reflour the work surface and roll the dough out into a 1/2 inch thick sheet.
  • Cut the dough with a floured biscuit cutter-- the book recommends a 2.5" one but I find that using an empty can works, and I have heart-shaped biscuit cutters in both small, regular 2.5", and large size.
  • Place the biscuits on a dry baking sheet or sil-pat as soon as they are cut. Arrange them close together if you want soft sides, but at least 1 inch apart for crustier sides.
  • Bake at 400F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. I'd recommend about 12-13 minutes for smaller biscuits and closer to 18 for bigger biscuits.

VEGAN "BUTTERMILK" SOUTHERN STYLE BISCUITS



Vegan

This is an incredibly simple recipe for "Buttermilk" Southern style biscuits, minus the dairy and cholesterol! I adapted this recipe from a traditional biscuit recipe and these take only a few minutes to make and use incredibly simple ingredients. Eat them with butter and preserves, or even vegan gravy! P.S. - I've made these for non-vegans and they didn't even know that these were vegan.

Provided by MellyLou

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Earth Balance whipped spread
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 cup unsweetened soymilk
chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Use your mixer, or use a large-ish mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients and mix together with a fork so ingredients are combined thoroughly.
  • Then add the Earth Balance and cut into the dry mixture with two knives scissoring against another (or use mixer). The consistency should be lumpy/flaky and E.B. should be about pea-size, as it is important to keep it mealy/flaky for flakier biscuits.
  • Next measure the soymilk and add the lemon juice to it, allowing it to sit for a few minutes (the lemon juice sours the soymilk giving it a buttermilk like taste).
  • Add the soymilk mixture and mix thoroughly (until combined) but do not over mix (occasionally I have to add a few extra tblsp. of soy milk, if the dough isn't completely incorporated at bottom of mixer). The dough texture should be able to be handled and formed easily, without losing shape (a bit tacky is okay but not sticky). Flour a board and gently roll dough into a log, cut into 7-8 generous slices, place on sheet (with the cut sides on the side and the top on the top) and bake until golden (15 minutes approximately).

Categories     Breads

Time 20m

Yield 6 biscuits, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup oat flour (you can make it by whirring rolled oats in the food processor)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (I live at high altitude, so you might need a bit more at sea level)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F and coat a cookie sheet with a thin layer of oil.
  • whisk dry ingredients together, then stir in applesauce.
  • Drop onto cookie sheet in biscuit size drops (should make 6 - they will be sticky).
  • Bake 8 -10 mins until lightly brown.
  • Smother in your favorite vegan gravy or top with jam. They are especially good topped with a spinach "cream" sauce. The oat flour makes them much more tender than wheat as there is no gluten.

Tips:

  • For a crispier biscuit, use cold vegan butter and work it into the dough quickly.
  • If you don't have vegan buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more vegan buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make the biscuits tough.
  • For taller biscuits, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thick.
  • For more flaky biscuits, fold the dough in half and then in half again before rolling it out.
  • Place the biscuits close together on the baking sheet so that they rise up and touch each other in the oven.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These vegan biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional biscuits. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve them with your favorite vegan gravy, jam, or spread. You can also use them to make vegan sandwiches or sliders. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, these vegan biscuits are sure to be a hit!
