The recipe's going in my cookbook, but I've been tweaking these things for months. It took a while to get the recipe light and fluffy. They're made with whole wheat pastry flour, so they're kinda healthy-ish ... though there's non-hydrogenated shortening in them too. You can't make good biscuits without shortnin' (that's what we call it in the South).
I sliced these babies open, slathered 'em with Earth Balance, and drizzled 'em with a good amount of sorghum (which, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is similar to molasses but not so intense).
On the side, I had Tempeh Bacon, which is also going in the cookbook:
The recipe involves marinating the tempeh slices and baking them. I used to use tofu slices for this recipe, but I feel like tempeh does the bacon-y marinade more justice. It has the proper bacon mouth feel too....I love the phrase, "mouth feel." It's so weird.
the tempeh bacon looks particularly tempting!
ReplyDeleteVegan bacon? The gods have answered my prayers......ggldldl....(that was the sound of me passing out in ecstasy!)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad someone else still makes good old-fashioned biscuits with shortnin'! I can't go to long without a batch of biscuits, especially when they are just fresh out of the oven.
ReplyDeleteI hope you know I am dying to read the cookbook!
OMG - is that your breakfast?!!! MMmmm nom nom nom ... HOT fluffy biscuits and tempeh bacon sounds SOOOOOOO good to me now .... I just got back from work and I'm HUNGRY and it's so COLD out there!! Gah!!
ReplyDeleteBtw, some vegan gravy would be nice ;0) Eek!! I'm such a glutton!!
I like the phrase "mouth feel", but something about "toothsome" rubs me the wrong way :)
ReplyDeleteThe bacon and biscuits look wonderful. I'm with cecilia; something about this breakfast makes me want gravy.
I always love your veganized comfort food dishes :0)
ReplyDeleteI want to come have breakfast at your house!! Super-yum!
ReplyDeleteI woke up one day with a craving for biscuits and gravy. I had to figure out a way to deliver, because some cravings you just HAVE to have. I made some pretty good but unattractive gravy. It's in an older post of mine. However, the biscuits that you made look soooo good. I can't wait for your book.
ReplyDeleteI have heard so many wonderful things about tempeh bacon and I will try it. It looks supremely luscious. And whole wheat biscuits - I mean, girl, come to my house and cook for me! I cannot wait for your book - promise me you will have tons of photos - I NEED photos of vegetarian food - it is essential!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your book, Bianca! The biscuits and tempeh bacon look delicious and healthy, my favorite combination.
ReplyDeleteI greatly admire you for this recipe-tweaking business. The results look delicious. You just have a fabulous-looking Southern breakfast going on here! Now that my tempeh cravings have skyrocketed, I'll have to try baking tempeh. That's something I haven't done before!
ReplyDeleteI can't WAIT for your cookbook to come out...My family is big on the Sunday morning biscuits & gravy/bacon/eggs, so this veganized version sounds peeerfect for the only non-omni of the house :0) Oh, and definitely try microwaving your sweet potato before cutting into it...after having small but painful experience with cutting it raw, I'll always micro it! It works great with acorn/butternut squash too!
ReplyDeleteI like yer biscuits.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite meal is breakfast and I'm always disappointed that so many vegan options for breakfast are sweet (except the old tofu scramble standby). So, I'm doubly excited about the prospect of your cookbook!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best looking tempeh bacon I've ever seen! And biscuits? With margarine? You're killin' me here!
ReplyDeleteYou are the Southern comfort food QUEEN!
ReplyDeleteYum, I love me some biscuits! Maybe I'll make biscuits and gravy this weekend. Tempeh bacon is teh awesome as well.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at biscuits!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE bicuits! I'm sad you're not posting the recipe, but I understand. I'm so excited for your cookbook!!!
"Mouth feel"...I love it! And if these recipes are going in your cookbook, you need to publish that beast NOW! :D

ReplyDeleteI'm SO looking forward to that tempeh bacon recipe... you won't imagine!
ReplyDeleteok, so when is the cookbook coming out? i woke up yesterday morning wanting biscuits & sausage gravy, but didn't have any vegan sausage on hand. both the biscuits & bacon look amazing! i can't wait until your cookbook comes out!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=twitter.com/iuyjopg]Viagra Sales Market[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://fovunec.freehostia.com]Ordering Viagra to Canada[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
