Strawberry Biscuits and Vegan Carmel Sauce

Strawberry Biscuits and Vegan Carmel Sauce

Okay got this Biscuit recipe from the Babycakes cookbook, but it calls for spelt flour and we didn’t have any so I substituted Bob’s gluten free all purpose flour instead. They were pretty good but depending on how many biscuits you want, it might be a good idea to double the recipe, especially if you make them as thick as the recipe calls for, I definitely didn’t as you can tell from the pictures. Warning, they were not good the following day, they didn’t last, got soggy. Maybe I should’ve kept them in the fridge but the book said store in plastic wrap at room temp and that didn’t work.

Biscuits-
2 cups Bob’s gluten free all purpose flour- plus extra for dusting
1tbsp baking powder
1tsp coarse sea salt- plus more for sprinkling
1/3 cup coconut oil melted- plus more for brushing
3/4 cup hot water

Preheat oven to 375 (the book says to line a baking sheet with parchment paper, I didn’t and they were fine.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly Pour the hot water into the dry ingredients and stir as you pour, then repeat the process with the melted coconut oil until fully combined and a dough is formed. If the dough is too dry add more water.

Dust the counter with the extra flour, place the dough on the surface and drag it through the flour. Then pat the dough gently until it is 1 inch thick. Using a 3 inch round cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits and arrange them on the baking sheet. Brush the biscuits with the extra oil, sprinkle with salt and sugar. Bake the biscuits on the center rack for 8 minutes, rotating the sheet 180 degrees after 4 minutes. Let them stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Carmel Sauce-
1/2 stick earth balance
1 cup sugar (natural cane)
1 dash fresh vanilla
2tbsp almond milk

Melt the earth balance in a mid size sauce pan on medium high heat, slowly stir in the sugar, add vanilla, then bring to boil. It will be bubbly all over and start to rise, stir it constantly, once it boils for 1-2 minutes, reduce to simmer, add almond milk and stir, then remove from heat and serve.
