savory breakfast biscuits

for a very long time i was banned from biscuit making

 i traumatized justin one night with a batch of baking powder biscuits

reason number 89 to avoid getting your drink on while baking

- you may accidentally add baking soda instead of baking powder to the baking powder biscuits

the end result is not a good one- you cannot pass this one off by telling your boyfriend

that is the way they are suppose to taste

it was time for redemption

time for me to prove i could make one mean biscuit

let me introduce you to the saving grace of biscuits

the "one" that converted justin back to a biscuit loving fool

the savory breakfast biscuit

(truthfully we eat these all day- they do not last long in our house)

vegan baco bits, daiya cheese and thyme are folded into a spelt biscuit batter

we prefer super size biscuits - making 6 total biscuits from the doughregular sized will get you 12

perfect for a breakfast sandwiches or alongside a bowl of soup

biscuits are the ultimate answer when you a craving warm bread for breakfast, lunch or dinner and are short on time, these are ready from start to finish in about 20 minutes

brushed with vegan butter

baked until golden brown

spelt flour adds a little extra whole grain goodness

a perfect balance to the baco bits & daiya

Savory Breakfast Biscuits

makes 6 large or 12 regular sized biscuits

you will need:

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup spelt flour

1/2 tsp salt

4 tsp baking powder

5 tsp cold vegan butter

1/2 cup daiya

1/4 cup vegan baco bits

2 tsp fresh thyme - tough stems removed

1/4 cup soy yogurt

3/4 cup vegan milk

2 tbsp or less of flour for kneading

1 tbsp melted butter for brushing tops of biscuits (optional)

assembly:

pre heat oven to 450*

line a baking sheet with parchment paper

in a large bowl combine flours, salt & baking powder

with a pastry cutter or 2 knives cut butter into the flour mixture until pea/pebble size pieces form

toss in daiya, baco bits & thyme - coating with flour/butter

stir in soy yogurt & vegan milk - do not over mix

turn onto a lightly floured surface

using the additional flour if needed gently knead dough  - I like the method of folding the dough over onto itself like apiece of paper, rotating 25 degrees and repeating 4-5 time- this method will create flaky biscuit layers= after kneading form into a disc

using a biscuit cutter or a glass - cut out 6 -12 biscuits

reforming the dough until all is used

place cut biscuits onto the parchment lined baking sheet & brush with butter if desired

bake for 18- 20 Minutes for large biscuits

or

10-12 minutes for smaller biscuits until bottoms and tops are golden brown

Enjoy immediately!
