Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl mix almond milk, vinegar, lemon juice and let sit to curdle for 2 minutes. Add chilled sweet potato puree, salt, sugar, cinnamon, oil/butter and flax meal to the almond milk, Mix well.
- In another bowl, mix the flours and baking powder and soda. Add 1 cup of the flour mixture into the sweet potato mixture and mix till just about combined. Depending on the sweet potato puree/mash whether canned or baked or microwaved, you might need less or more flour. Add more flour if needed to make a soft stick-ish dough. Mix only until just combined, do not over-mix or knead. Aim at a total of 5-6 mixes or folds.
- Pat down the soft dough onto parchment to about a 1/2-3/4 inch thick. Use a little flour if needed if the dough is sticky. Cut the biscuits using a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter.
- Place on parchment, brush canola/coconut/melted vegan butter on top and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool for 2 minutes or so as the biscuits will still be cooking on the inside. Serve warm with a dollop of vegan butter or jam or gravy.
- Cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use. Warm them up in the oven before serving.
Notes
- These are especially good with vegan butter and my Spicy Tofu Scramble in the morning.
- You can make a savory vegan biscuit by adding some dried herbs or garlic. Use 1 tsp sugar instead of 2, and add vegan cheese shreds, etc for a savory twist.
- I like to serve these warm with a dollop of vegan butter or jam or gravy.
- To store them, let them cool completely and refrigerate them in an airtight container until ready to eat. You an reheat them in the oven.
- If using other whole grain flours like whole wheat, use 2 parts whole wheat pastry flour and 1 part unbleached white flour.
