Veganized Bo-Berry Biscuits

Here in the South there is a fast food restaurant called Bojangles.

They are known for fried chicken and biscuits.

Nothing on their menu is for me for many reasons :)

However one thing they have is a Bo-Berry biscuit.

The put blueberries in a buttermilk biscuit and top it with a glaze.

Ok they might be onto something here...but I think my way is a wee bit better than their calorie heavy animal product laden biscuits.

Start out with my vegan buttermilk biscuit (originally posted here):

2 C flour (I used white wheat from Trader Joe's)

6 Tbsp Earth Balance (cubed)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 C buttermilk
1/2 C blueberries (I used frozen)
cinnamon and sugar to roll dough in

To make buttermilk, if you don't have any on hand, just take a cup of milk (I used regular almond milk, NOT the vanilla) and added 1 Tbsp of white vinegar.  Let the two sit in a bowl for about 5 minutes before adding to recipe.

In a food processor add your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Pulse for about 10 seconds to get everything incorporated.

Next add in your Earth Balance and pulse until a crumb mix is formed.

Add in your buttermilk and allow to process until a dough ball forms (takes about 30-45 seconds).

Gently fold in blueberries.

So take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it in your cinnamon and sugar mix and place each ball in a pan (I choose a spring form pan, but any cake or bundt pan will do).

Bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes (depending on the closeness of the biscuits you may need to cook a little longer...you don't want a doughy middle).

All baked and ready for the finishing touches!

Once the biscuits have cooled for a few minutes put a dollop of glaze  on each biscuit.

Glaze:

1 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
almond milk

Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix (you only need enough almond milk to make the desired consistency...in this case thicker is better).

When you are finished this what you end up with:

Oooey sticky goodness!

Do you have any restaurant foods that you would like to see made over?  Or have you made over some foods you found in a restaurant?
