Christmas Morning food

I want cinnamon rolls.  Oh, and quiche.  But since like 3/4 of our family can’t handle dairy I am making them both carnivorous Veg@n style.

From the Tasty Vegan Blog I am using this recipe for the rolls

Ingredients:

Cinnamon Rolls:

3/4 cup soy milk

2 tsp. yeast

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 Tbs. baking powder

2 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided

1/4 tsp. salt

4 Tbs vegan margarine

1/3 cup brown sugar

Glaze:

1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

3 Tbs soy milk

Directions:

1. To make Cinnamon Rolls: Preheat oven to 425F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat milk in saucepan over medium heat, sprinkle with yeast. Set aside.
2. Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and salt in bowl. Rub butter into flour mixture with fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk until soft dough forms. Transfer to well-floured surface and dust with flour. Press into 12×6-inch rectangle.
3. Combine brown sugar and remaining cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle over dough, and press in lightly with palms of hands. Gently roll dough lengthwise into log. Cut log into 16 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices on prepared baking sheet, reshaping into rounds if necessary. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until rolls begin to brown.
4. To make Glaze: Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and soy milk. Glaze will be very thick. Bush glaze on cinnamon rolls right out of the oven.

The quiche seems simple enough in theory.  Basically I will be using egg beaters (as they do not generally have egg yokes in them, whites only) and either coconut or soy milk.  I’d prefer the coconut milk but I have to go to the store of that and I am not sure that is going to happen what with the snow storm that is going on and all.  I have bacon and sausage already at home.  I was planning on using a Pillsbury pie crust, but I have seen a few recipes calling for Bisquick.  Maybe I will make muffin sized ones using that, not sure yet.  I’d love to throw some broccoli in them, but again, not sure how that will go over with C.  Maybe I’ll do that in the big one then add a bunch of cheese to some small ones for C to make up for it.
