I know you just saw a biscuit post on Thursday.
But I wanted to post this pecan-pie version before Thanksgiving, as these biscuits would be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner! And they’d be even more perfect for “Thanksgiving leftovers” sandwiches the next day.
Buttery Pecan Pie Biscuits
(makes 8-12)
- 1 and 3/4c spelt flour (or white, or Arrowhead Mills gf mix)
- 1/2 cup toasted pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 plus 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 T coconut or canola oil
- 2/3 cup nondairy milk (Almond or soymilk is fine. Don’t use ricemilk.)
- 1 T white vinegar or lemon juice
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse pecans in the food processor, then add other dry ingredients and pulse until smooth. Meanwhile, mix the vinegar and milk in a little bowl. Let sit for at least 5 minutes. Transfer the dry ingredients to a big bowl and add milk mixture and oil. Mix just until it comes together. Transfer dough to a tray, and knead a few times until it’s not sticky. (Sprinkle with more flour if needed.) Press dough into a rectangle 1/2-inch thick, and cut into squares or rounds. You can bake them on the same tray. Bake 14-15 minutes.
These biscuits taste like something between a biscuit and a scone. They’re good topped with a little vegan butter (and maybe some agave or molasses), or coconut butter, or perhaps even pumpkin butter.

Speaking of pecan pie…
Yesterday afternoon, with the pecans still out on the counter from that morning, I decided to quickly experiment with a pie recipe.
Oh yes, this is a photo to submit to Foodgawker.com.
I can just imagine what they’d say in their rejection letter: Harsh lighting and/or overexposed overcooked.
No, I am not really going to submit it to foodgawker! I’m also obviously not going to be posting the recipe. (Word of advice: don’t sub agave for corn syrup, one-for-one, in a pecan pie.)
Question of the Day:
Have you ever burned anything in the kitchen?
Or had a cooking disaster? Oh, I’ve had so many kitchen mishaps: I’ve blown up oatmeal in the microwave, forgotten wheatberries on the stove while I took a shower, exploded a marshmallow while making s’mores, chopped up my Vita-Mix tamper (twice!), and once I set the microwave on fire by trying to heat a Luna Bar still in the wrapper.
Oops.
How about the batch of bacon wrapped dates I forgot about that burned AND stunk up my house right before the party. Nice.
I’ve burnt a pecan pie before! Hahah these bisuits look great! Cant wait to try 🙂
haha, I remember when you posted that wheatberry picture 😀
that pie doesn´t loook appealing at all, but maybe you will give it another try??
I have only burnt things so far, but nothing too terrible, just some onions in the pot and once some roasted veggies. But that is it 🙂
I *think* I am going to try again… if I have time! 🙂
yum! great for thanksgiving 🙂
ooh are there any cornbread recipes coming our way? 🙂
I was just thinking I need to try to make one!
The close-up picture looks amazing! Perfect focus on the perfect breakfast!
I have never really burned anything if we don’t count the accidental occurrence of black edges which I pedantically scrape off after I take what I’m baking out of the oven. A cook with arsonphobia is a really funny sight. I never taste anything while cooking and stay as far from the stove as I can. Cooking on a gas stove is my nightmare. I freak out every 5 minutes. So, in short, the chance to burn my food is close to zero.
Oh well! Haha! We all have kitchen flops! At least the biscuits were a success!
Girl Ive set off more smoke detectors than you wanna know about! That..Oh I am just going to fold the laundry, check my email ‘real quickly’, answer the phone and bam, before you know it, Ive torched and charred something in the oven. And the smell…that lingers…eww. Not pleasant!
Sorry about your char session 🙁
Buttery without any butter in the recipe? I will have to try these out- they look great!
And in response to your question, once I exploded a sweet potato in the microwave. I didn’t even know that could happen!
Ooh, I’ve burned lots in the kitchen. Glad I’m not the only one!
I tried the homemade-popcorn bags with brown paper bags. I think I put it in the microwave too long or something because while I was upstairs straightening my hair, the bag must’ve caught fire. When I got downstairs, it smelled like smoke the only thing left were the ashes of the bag and some slightly-burnt popcorn. That incident left me scarred. Now, I have a bottle of popcorn kernels and stack of brown paper bags.
Ha ha! I burn things pretty much every day. It’s usually broccoli though so it smells really great. LOL. 🙂 I’m trying to catch up on all your posts and my list of things I want to make jst keeps getting longer…… I’m overwhelmed. 🙂
PS- Random compliment, but your website is so nice to look at- clean, calming, etc. 🙂
