Vegan Cherry Cobbler With Almond Biscuit Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Place 10 tablespoons of the vegan butter in a small bowl, then freeze until solid, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, scallions, baking powder, salt, baking soda and pepper in a large bowl until combined. Add the frozen vegan butter, then use a pastry cutter or fork to mix in the butter until only even, pea-size pieces remain. Gently stir in the almond milk and lemon juice to make a loose, shaggy dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface that's lightly dusted with flour, then pat into a 7-inch square that's about 3/4-inch thick. Fold in half from left to right, like a book, then fold in half again from top to bottom, so it's now 1/4 of the original size. Pat the dough again into a 7-inch square.
• Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the dough into 12 even rectangular pieces, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons vegan butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on high, 30 to 60 seconds, then brush onto the top of each piece with a pastry brush. Sprinkle with more pepper. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Place the cherries in a large bowl, and add the sugar, lemon juice and all-purpose flour. Carefully mix them together with a rubber spatula or a large spoon until the sugar and flour have dissolved into the liquids. Transfer to the baking dish, making sure to scrape out all of the liquid in the bowl.
• Sift all of the dry ingredients for the topping. If some of the cornmeal and almond flour remain in the sifter, just dump it into the bowl with the sifted flours. Place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse a few times. Add the butter, and pulse to cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Turn on the food processor, and pour in the buttermilk with the machine running. As soon as the dough comes together, stop the machine.
• Spoon the topping over the cherries by the heaped tablespoon. The cherries should be just about covered but may peek out here and there. Place in the oven, and bake 35 to 40 minutes until the top is nicely browned and the cherries are bubbling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool to warm before serving. Serve warm (heat in a low oven for 15 minutes if necessary before serving).
