Biscuits

This recipe can easily be converted to a vegan version by simply using vegan butter and almond milk.  When I make it as a vegan version, I use Earth Balance vegan butter and 365 Almond Milk.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (I use 365 Organic)
  • 1 cup unbleached flour (365 Organic)
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup dairy or almond milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dairy or vegan butter

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450˚.
  2. Stir vinegar into almond milk and set aside.
  3. Place dry Ingredients into food processor.  Pulse until well mixed.
  4. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
  5. Add milk slowly until all moisture is taken up.
  6. Form into ball.  
  7. Flatten on floured counter and roll out dough to about 1 inch thick.
  8. Cut out biscuits with biscuit cutter.  Makes 12-14 biscuits.
  9. Place in cast iron skillet and bake in 450˚oven for 20 minutes; then, brown under broiler to two minutes.

Gravy

This recipe is easily made vegan also by using vegan butter (Earth Balance) and almond milk (365) instead of dairy.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dairy or vegan butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups dairy or almond milk
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, plus 2 tbsp unbleached flour
  • 1 tsp each of sea salt & coarse ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Over medium heat, melt butter and oil in cast iron skillet. (The deep chicken fryer is perfect for making gravy.)
  2. Add flour, salt, & pepper, whisking until mixture becomes brown and grainy.  
  3. Slowly add milk, whisking until mixture is smooth.  
  4. Heat over medium burner until mixture begins to simmer.  
  5. Lower heat and gently simmer, stirring continuously for 4 minutes.
  6. Mixture may be thin but will thicken as it cools.
