Cinnamon Bun Biscuits

This recipe starts with the base Baking Powder Biscuit recipe (on my blog, here's the link, you can read the detailed instructions there if you like: Blog on Biscuits) and adds a twist to make cinnamon buns!  This is a quick and easy way to make a super yummy cinnamon bun biscuit.  I made these for a charity bake-sale at work the other week - really quick - don't need to have a lot of ingredients around.  These are darn good right out of the oven.

Ingredients:

3 Cups Flour

1.5 Tbsp Baking Powder

1 Tsp Salt

2 Tbsp Raw Sugar

2/3 Cup Vegan Butter or Margarine

3/4 Cup Soy Milk

Filling:

1/2 cup softened 'butter' (or however much you like)

1 cup brown sugar

1-2 Tbsp Cinnamon (or as much as you like)

Pre-Heat Oven to 425 F - Bake 15 minutes in a muffin tin.

1. Make the basic Baking Powder Biscuit recipe (see: Blog on Biscuits). Roll the dough out into a rectangle around 1/2" thick - I use my hands.  Don't forget to flour the surface or it will stick.

Flour the surface

2. Mix the filling together (you may want to add a little water) and then spread across the dough.

Yum - Butter & Brown Sugar mix

3. Roll the dough up. 

4. Slice the cinnamon buns so you have enough for 12.  Place them directly into the muffin tin (no need to grease it up, the butter will do it all for you).

6. Bake 15 minutes at 425.  Immediately remove from tin and put on wax paper and a baking rack.  Enjoy.

Best fresh from the oven.

Baking Powder Biscuits - Classic & Quick

My grandma used to make these Baking Powder Biscuits.  I loved them so much I had to find a vegan version that would work.  This recipe makes a nice fluffy delicious scone like biscuit in no time flat.  Try using whole wheat flour for a little healthier a version.

I've made these biscuits for breakfast - they are equally great for snacks - with soup - or at dinner.  The key to a good biscuit is to work the dough by hand as quickly and as little as possible.

Ingredients:
3 Cups Flour
1.5 Tbsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Raw Sugar
2/3 Cup Vegan Butter or Margarine
3/4 Cup Soy Milk

Pre-Heat Oven to 425 F - Bake 15 minutes on non-stick pan.

1. Add all the dry ingredients & mix in a wide bowl (no need to sift).

2. Add the Margarine to the dry mix & work it through with a pastry cutter until crumbly.

3. Pour the Soy Milk across the surface of the dough & gently mix it up with a wooden spoon.  Once it's a little mixed dig in with your hands and quickly form a ball.

Place ball on Floured Wax Paper

4. Flatten the ball into a rectangle - around an inch thick. Brush Soy Milk over the surface and then sprinkle Raw Sugar over the surface. 

This makes the sugar stick!

Sprinkle with sugar - the surface will be so pretty!

Cut in half & then slice - you can make them smaller if you want

5. Bake approximately 15 Minutes at 425 F.  Enjoy!
