Healthy Fast Food Biscuits

[owl]

i was just looking for an easy bread. reading the other comments, i was skeptical. how could plain old bread be "amazing?" but OH MY GOSH, THESE ARE AMAZING! they taste like the flakey pillsbury biscuits i haven't eaten in so long. i could eat the whole batch in one sitting.
i used non fat soy milk and apple cider vinegar, and i did not use the optional margarine.

these biscuits were truly awesome.  i made them for my christmas day dinner with veg posole (hominy, beans and chile).  they turned out perfect!  my first try at making a bread product from scratch.  i also used ww pastry flour and raw sugar, and olive oil (had to use what i had handy), and they were so simple.  this recipe will definitely be in my permanent file of winning recipes!!  thanks, robin!

These were great!  However, this made more than 12 biscuits for me.  I measured 1/2'' with a ruler.  Next time I make these, I will roll them out to be 3/4''-1'' in thickness.  But very tasty!

So so so good!  Great with gravy (I used the punk rock chicpea gravy from VwaV).  Easy to make too.  I halved the recipe and it still made 12 biscuits, and I measured also.  Will try making them thicker next time.  Thanks for the yummy recipe!

I halved the recipe, and now I'm regretting that decision, because these biscuits are so good!  They were perfect with soysage and gravy, but I think they're going to be even better with peanut butter and jelly for lunch tomorrow!

Following oli's suggestion, I used 1/2 cup of pastry flour in addition to the wheat flour and scaled back on the white flour.  I plan to use this recipe for all of my biscuit needs from now on

These were awesome, I even got asked for the recipe.  I had one with a baked potato, gravy and green beans.  Yummmmm!  Kinda just eyeballed the thickness and patted it down into a circle with my fingertips, worked out great. If anyone is interested, each biscuit is about 180 calories.

I scaled this recipe down since i'm the only one eating it, but the batter was way to dry and impossible to mix, I added a little more milk, still dry, added a little more then it was to wet & gross so I had to throw it out :-( oh well, it sounded good.

These are so fast and easy!
I didn't even let them rise and they came out really good.

I only used unbleached flour and let them rise for only 10 minutes without the melted margarine. We decided to put vegan gravy on some and jam on others. They  were a bit dry, but some gravy or jam makes it perfect.
So if you are planning to eat biscuits with something these will definetly do. Otherwise.. not so good.

2 words! simply orgasmic!

i served these with some buttery spread and made gravy to go with. you all should try this!

thanks

I don't think that these are quite fluffy enough to earn the title of "fast food-like", but within the biscuit realm, these are some of the best! I've never tried making biscuits with whole wheat flour, but I am glad I did. Thanks for the lovely recipe! I'll never have to cut in shortening again!

I love these! I made them the first time to put them on top of a veg pot pie filling..they didn't get quite done on the bottom (next to the filling), but they were still great. I saved some of the dough in the fridge and made them later...fabulous! Thanks. : )

I'm in love. So is everyone else who ate these.

I made sloppy joe's out of some and I'm eating one right now. The rest will be saved for peanut butter and jelly or margarine and jam. Or sandwiches. Or just plain.
Man, anything goes with these.

I just now made these, and they weren't that good. They didn't have much taste, and they were very thick & chewy, and I did follow the recipe exactly.
