As Blossom Du Jour continues to expand, I am all about comfort food. What is more comforting than buttermilk biscuits (minus the butter of course)? These are great for breakfast, brunch or alongside some veggie chili for dinner.

Rosemary ‘Buttermilk’ Biscuits [Vegan]

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon cold vegan butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Mix dry ingredients (including the rosemary) together in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Combine the apple cider vinegar and vegan milk, whisk, then set aside.
  4. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients, and quickly combine with a fork or your fingers until tiny bits are formed. This process should take no longer than approximately 1-2 minutes.
  5. Slowly add the vegan milk and vinegar mixture to the flour and gently mix until well combined.  Transfer the mixture onto a floured counter top and form a dough ball, gently turning the dough over a couple of times.  It's very important not to overwork the dough.
  6. To cut the dough, use whatever you'd like (the top of a glass, a cookie cutter, etc).
  7. Place the biscuits close together onto a sheet pan lined with a piece of parchment.  Dab a very small amount of butter on top of each biscuit and bake for approximately 10-11 minutes.
  8. Pairs excellently with raspberry or apricot jam.

    In 2005 Pamela Elizabeth opened Blossom Restaurant in a townhouse in NYC, hoping to show patrons that healthy vegan meals could be satisfying without animal products. Following its great success, other restaurants, including Blossom on Columbus, followed. Then, in 2010 in direct response to the growing need for "alternative fast food, "Blossom Du Jour was opened as a cruelty-free, green, and healthy fast-food option. The restaurant also has a bakery, Blossom Bakery, and its baked goods are available at select Whole Foods.
