🥄 How to make vegan cheddar bay biscuits
Step 1 - Start by preheating the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Mix the dry ingredients
Step 2 - Then, place a cup of vegan Bisquick in a mixing bowl, add ½ cup of vegan shredded cheddar cheese, and stir.
Step 3 - Pour in 1/3 cup of plain soy milk or other plant-based milk and mix with a fork, just enough to combine the ingredients. (don’t overstir).
Step 4 - Drop about 1/3 cup scoops of biscuit dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. (You can use parchment paper, but there is really no need.)
Step 5 - Bake for 8-11 minutes until slightly golden and dry.
Step 6 - While the biscuits are cooking, mix together ¼ cup of melted butter, a teaspoon of parsley, ¼ teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning.
Step 7 - Take the biscuits out of the oven. Place them one at a time in the bowl of garlic butter to coat them completely. Serve warm.
For cheesier-tasting biscuits, you can add 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast along with the dry ingredients.
🥞 How to make homemade vegan Bisquick?
In a food processor add 1 tablespoon of cold vegan butter or coconut oil, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and a tablespoon of baking powder. Plus until well combined and use in place of 1 cup of Bisquick.
👩🏻🍳 Pro Tips
- If the dough seems dry, add another splash of soy milk until all the flour is moist and sticky like traditional biscuit dough.
- You can make these with regular wheat Bisquick or store-bought gluten-free Bisquick, however, if you are making them gluten-free, they come out the best with mygluten-free Bisquick recipe.
- If you are using store-bought Bisquick, be sure to check the ingredients and make sure that it is vegan. (Many times the low-fat version is vegan).
- You can use any type of vegan margarine for the garlic butter, but I prefermy homemade vegan butterrecipe! It tastes more like real butter than any other vegan margarine that I have tried.
- If you don’t have Old Bay Seasoning you can leave it out or add a small dash of celery salt, cayenne, and paprika to the butter.
