‘Cheddar’ Herb Biscuits
(Makes about 10 vegan biscuits)

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. We sure did and are still enjoying one of the best parts, leftovers! I wanted to make some quick biscuits for Thanksgiving and had my Quick Biscuits with Capers (Dinner Rolls in 20 minutes!) recipe in mind. So I used this recipe to build and create this one. I really wanted something quick but wanted to experiment with creating a ‘cheddar’ biscuit without having to utilize actual vegan cheddar cheese, like Daiya. These came out pretty good, although I think I may still play around with this one to perfect it more.
With Thanksgiving leftovers in mind, I pictured myself sopping these biscuits up in my leftover mushroom gravy, Mmm… Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 ¾ Cup Self-Rising Flour (plus additional for rolling)
½ Tsp Salt
1 ½ Tsp Italian Seasoning
3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
3 Tbsp Vegenaise (Vegan Mayo)
1 Cup Milk (I use soy or almond)
1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
½ Tsp Liquid Smoke, optional

Topping:
2 Tbsp Earth Balance (Vegan Butter), melted
1-2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 Tsp Nutritional Yeast
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
-Combine all dry ingredients by whisking together to combine.

-Stir in wet ingredients: vegenaise, milk, liquid smoke, if using, and toss in fresh parsley last. Do not over mix.
-Turn out dough on generously floured counter and roll out with a rolling pin.

-Cut out biscuits and place into 9-inch round pan. (I simply used a drinking glass to cut out biscuits). Makes about 10 biscuits depending on size of glass or cutter.

-Combine melted Earth Balance with Fresh Parsley for the topping. Gently brush the tops of each biscuit with the melted butter mixture and sprinkle each with the additional nutritional yeast.

-Bake for 15-20 minutes and enjoy!
