Whole Wheat Drop Biscuits

There is nothing like a hot biscuit for breakfast, or as a side to a hot dinner. Biscuits are always the first thing to fight over at a family dinner. It seems that there are never enough of them. So we vegans should not be left out of the delicious aroma!

This is a recipe for drop biscuits. The two main types of biscuits that are often served at breakfast and dinner are baking powder and drop biscuits. Baking powder biscuits are the type you roll and cut out, and drop biscuits are exactly what they sound like; you drop them on your pan and bake them.

Drop biscuits are great for when you don't have time to make the flaky layers of a baking powder biscuit. They are a soft, fast biscuit to make when you are in a hurry or are making a last minute dinner.

My mom loves making drop biscuits, and I grew up with them in exactly the situations that you mentions, so kudos for making a vegan variety!
