Sometimes you just don't have time to get out the rolling pin, the cookie cutter, and let dough rise twice, re-knead, re-rise....etc... Let's face it, most of us never have time for that. Solution? Quick rise biscuits with baking powder! I use Rumford's because it's aluminum free. Did you know that lots of foods and cosmetic products contain aluminum? Like most deodorants. Aluminum builds up in our bodies over time and can cause metal poisoning, which is a huge contributor to Alzheimer's and depression. Any who... no aluminum for me! Thank the Lord they sell Rumford's at Walmart. These quick biscuits can be used for "bacon, egg, and cheese" biscuits (Tempeh, tofu, daiya), jelly biscuits, or biscuits and gravy, and they only take about 20 minutes total to make, including cooking time. I high jacked this little gem from a cookbook called "Vegan Homestyle". This is not a gluten free biscuit! Sorry my precious GF babies!
Ingredients:
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1 cup of unbleached white flour
1 Tbs. baking powder (Aluminum free please)
1 tsp. salt (I love sea salt)
1/3 Cup oil (I use coconut or olive)
3/4 Cup almond milk (or soy, hemp, rice, flax... any alternative will work)
Directions:
~preheat oven to 475°
~mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl first
~add wet ingredients
~mix until all dry ingredients are wet
~take portions whatever size you like ( I like bigger biscuits, so I use about 2 heaping Tbs. of dough) and roll into balls. Give them a little pat to flatten them into biscuit like shape
~place on an oiled cookie sheet
~bake for 12 minutes (10 for smaller biscuits)
Serve hot with raw organic honey and cinnamon (like pictured), or use anyway you would use a regular biscuit; biscuits and gravy, jelly biscuit, etc. Enjoy!
