K’s Vegan Biscuits
- 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 scant cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 4 Tbsp non-dairy, unsalted butter ( More to melt)
- 1/3 cup jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- Parchment paper
See Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 C).
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add vinegar to almond milk to start the curdle.
- Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter to combine the two until only small pieces remain and it looks like sand. Work quickly so the butter doesn’t get too warm. Then add jalapeños and toss. (If you don’t have a pastry cutter, you can use your fingers)
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and using a wooden spoon, stir gently while pouring in the almond milk mixture 1/4 cup at a time. You may not need all of it. Stir until just slightly combined – it will be sticky.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface, dust the top with a bit of flour and then very gently turn the dough over on itself 5-6 times. Don’t over knead.
- Form into a 1-inch thick disc, handling as little as possible.
- Use a 1-inch thick dough cutter or a similar-shape object with sharp edges (such as a cocktail shaker or drinking glass) and push straight down through the dough, then slightly twist.
- Repeat and place biscuits on a baking sheet in two rows.
- Continue to reform the dough and cut out one or two more biscuits or until all of the dough is used – you should have 8-10.
- Next, brush the tops with a bit more of melted non-dairy butter and gently press a thumb into the center to create a small divot. This will help them rise evenly, so the middle won’t form a dome.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until fluffy and slightly golden brown. Serve immediately. Let remaining biscuits cool completely before storing them in an airtight container or bag. Will keep for a couple of days at room temperature.
Luxury Experience – Seafood Shooters
These Seafood Shooters, created by Luxury Experience, are another tasty, easy-to-make, easy-to-love, perfect for parties’ appetizers. They used “shot glasses” and alternately layered 1-tablespoon of cooked, diced bay scallops, cooked, diced shrimp, and diced roasted red pepper in the glasses, then topped them with K Bloody Mary Mix. Then, they garnished the shooters with a medium size shrimp and presented them on a wood board with lemon wedges nestled on nasturtium leaves for an attractive presentation.
