Happy Holidays everyone! A Facebook friend of mine requested I post the recipe for my Dinner Biscuits, and thought of course…it is the PERFECT biscuit to serve alongside your Christmas or New Years Dinner. I always make a ham for Christmas dinner, and these biscuits are so delicious with it. It literally takes minutes to mix everything together and pop into the oven to bake just as your guests are arriving. Plan ahead and have everything pre-measured and ready to go. Mix in only as much soy or rice milk as needed. You don’t want the dough too sticky.
I especially love serving these tender biscuits for breakfast with a little dairy free margarine and honey.
DAIRY, EGG AND NUT FREE DINNER BISCUITS
Yield: 8 biscuits
2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour (alternatively use 1 c. whole wheat flour, 1 c. all-purpose flour)
1 T. baking powder
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. or 1 c. soy or rice milk
2 T. dairy free margarine, melted for brushing
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt with a wire whisk. Add the soy or rice milk slowly, stirring with a rubber spatula until the dough just comes together and isn’t too sticky. Turn onto a light floured surface and knead 12-15 times, until the dough is soft and smooth.
Pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to make 8 rounds, rerolling as necessary.
Brush the surface of each biscuit with melted dairy-free margarine, and bake for 15-20 minutes. or until very light golden brown.
Made these tonight with dinner! Yummy!
Thanks! Think I’ll try them out myself! Happy Holidays…
I’m excited to try these with whole wheat flour! I’m confused about the recipe though. Are you saying you can use 1 cup unbleached and 1 cup whole wheat flour? It seems like the recipe is calling for 3 cups of flour….or maybe it’s too early in the morning for me to be reading recipes…LOL
hi linda…lol. no, use 2 c. flour total.
Thanks so much for all you do-we love these. Amazing
Have you ever tried to make the biscuits, freeze and then take out and bake? I would love to able to just bake on Christmas morning so I can spend more time with my little boys.
Do they have to be kneaded or can you make them as drop biscuits?
pat the brief kneading just develops the gluten…mix a little more with a rubber spatula and do drop if you like!
molly you absolutely can do that! xoxo
thanks sooooo much mary! xoxo
Thanks, Kelly! I am going to make a couple of batches tonight! Would you just brush them, while frozen, with the margarine?
Also, I just want to thank you for a fabulous cookbook (bakebook). I have probably tried 3/4 of the recipes at this point and am yet to be disappointed! Thank you for caring and sharing!!
Hi Molly, only brush with the melted dairy free margarine just before baking. SOOOO happy you are loving the recipes!!! xoxo
can these be made with gluten free flour???
shelly try it with you favorite all purpose gluten free flour mix…it SHOULD work as most of my recipes do with GF flour but i haven’t officially tested it on this particular recipe so can’t say for sure. let me know!
Thanks! LOL
Thanks so much! My son really appreciates it! You are WONDERFUL!
Looks yummy!
