< Back Pie Crust Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 45 Minutes Level: Quick & Easy About the Recipe Create the perfect flaky pie crust with our Biscuit & Baking Mix. This melt-in-your-mouth pie shell is easy to prepare and adds a light, buttery texture to any filling, making it an ideal base for both sweet and savory pies Ingredients 1 1/2 cups Biscuit & Baking Mix 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup vegan butter, cold and cut into cubes 4 tablespoon ice water Preparation Step 1 Make sure your vegan butter is very cold . Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before starting. Step 2 Add Biscuit & Baking Mix, sugar, and salt to a food processor or a large mixing bowl (if doing by hand). Pulse or whisk to mix. Step 3 Add cold butter: Food Processor: Add the cold vegan butter and pulse for about 10 seconds, until the mixture resembles small balls. By Hand: Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it in until the mixture looks like small balls. Step 4 Slowly pour in the ice-cold water , adding more or less as needed until the dough begins to clump together. Step 5 Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a ball, avoiding over-handling. Step 6 Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and carefully transfer it to a pie plate, rolling it around a rolling pin if needed. Step 7 Gently press the dough into the pie plate (you can pinch the rim or use a fork to press down the edges). Trim the excess and repair edges as needed using water. Poke holes in the bottom using a fork to release steam so bubbling won't occur. Step 8 The pie crust is ready to use immediately, or you can freeze the dough for up to 3 months.

When you're ready to use it, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight *Bake at 350 °F for 45-50 minutes for a fully baked pie crust (pre-bake half this time). Previous Next

< Back Pig-Free "Pigs" in a Blanket Prep Time: 30 Minutes Cook Time: Around 30 Minutes total for the carrots and the biscuits (1 hr. marinate time) Level: Adventurous About the Recipe These carrot "Pigs in a Blanket" are the perfect plant-based twist on a classic favorite! With a delicious smoky flavor from liquid smoke and a flaky, golden crust using our Biscuit & Baking Mix, they’re a crowd-pleasing appetizer for any event—game days, parties, or just a fun snack. You won’t miss the original with these tasty, bite-sized treats! Ingredients For the "Pigs" 16 oz bag of baby carrots For the Blanket 2 cups of the Biscuit and Baking Mix 6 tablespoons vegan butter / coconut oil 2/3 cup vegan milk For the Marinade 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup vegetable broth 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 tablespoon yellow mustard 1 tablespoon garlic powder 3 tablespoons liquid smoke (start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste as this is a very strong flavor) 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon juice from pickled pepperoncinis (can substitute white vinegar) Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 450°F Step 2 Prepare the "Pigs": Combine all marinade ingredients in a deep saucepan and adjust amounts to desired taste. Add in baby carrots and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes until fork tender. Turn off heat and leave to marinate for 1 hour. Step 3 Prepare the "Blanket": Make the biscuit dough per biscuit recipe on the back of the Biscuit and Baking Mix package. Separate dough into 4 equal sized balls - this is just to make the dough more manageable. You can also keep as one large dough ball. Roll dough balls out into 1 /8th inch thick rectangles approximately 6 - 7 inches wide. With a pizza cutter, cut long triangular shaped wedge s out of the rectangles. The wide side of the wedge should be slightly less wide than a baby carrot. The finished wedge should be about 6 - 7 inches long. Step 4 Put them together: Place a carrot on the wide end of a wedge, roll it up to wrap the dough around the carrot, and pinch the seam to seal. Place blanketed carrots, seam side down, on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat for all carrots. Bake at 450 for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown. Previous Next

Bursting with plant-based goodness, this pot pie is as versatile as it is delicious, making it the perfect meal to warm your soul and satisfy every craving. Simple to prepare and packed with veggies, it’s comfort food at its best! Ingredients Pie Crust 2 cups Everyday Baking Mix 3/4 cup water (or vegan milk) Filling 1 medium onion, diced 1 russet potato, diced 1 small bag of mixed frozen vegetables 1 cup cauliflower, diced 1 celery rib, diced 8 oz tofu, cubed 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup veggie stock 1 cup plant-based milk 3 tablespoons flour Preparation Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 °F. Step 2 Prepare the Pie Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the Everyday Baking Mix with the water. Lightly knead the dough for 1–2 minutes, just until it forms a cohesive ball. * Pro Tip: Avoid over-kneading to keep the crust flaky. Cover the dough and set it aside while you prepare the filling. Step 3 Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat . Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. * If you like your tofu a bit crispier you can pan fry it for a few minutes with the garlic and onions. Add the frozen vegetables, vegan milk, and vegetable stock. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, stir in the tofu . Return to a simmer and let it cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in 4 tablespoons Everyday Baking Mix a nd stir well. Let it simmer for a few more minutes until the filling starts to thicken. Cover the skillet, remove it from the heat, and set aside. Step 4 Assemble the Pot Pie: Divide the dough into two portions: *Make one portion about 10% larger than the other (this will be the bottom crust). Roll out the larger dough ball into a 15-inch circle. Carefully place it into a 9-inch pie pan, letting the edges hang over slightly. Roll out the smaller dough ball into an 11-inch circle for the top crust. Pour the prepared filling into the pie pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the smaller dough circle on top. Press the edges of the top and bottom crusts together and crimp them using your fingers or a fork to seal. Use a knife to cut four slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Step 5 Bake the Pot Pie: Place pot pie in the center of the preheated oven ( 375 °F) and loosely tent with foil to prevent the crust from browning too quickly. Bake for 45 minutes , removing the foil for the last 10 minutes to allow the crust to become golden brown. Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to firm. Previous Next
