Step 1

Add your flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk together.

Step 2

Cut the Earth Balance Buttery Sticks into small cubes and cream them together with the vegan sugar and vanilla. Cream together for three minutes on medium speed. Add the vegan yogurt, then combine until whipped and airy.

Step 3

Add 1/3bof the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, then stir it in by hand. Add half of the milk alternative and then mix it in. Mix in half of the remaining dry ingredients, then the rest of the milk. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix them in.

Step 4

Chop up the cranberries (or whatever dried fruit you are using) and add it to the mixture.

Step 5

Place the dough in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill, then turn it out onto a floured piece of waxed paper, or on a clean stone surface. We have granite countertops, so I just use a clean surface. Press the dough out with flat hands until it is anywhere from a quarter, to three-quarters of an inch thick. I prefer them thinner, but I’ve seen many recipes who call for a thicker pastry.

Step 6

Spray a large biscuit cutter (I used a 2″ cutter, but I have seen them up to 3″ its really down to personal preference.) with a little bit of nonstick spray. Wipe the spray all over the cutter inside and out, but not the handle. Dip the greased cutter in some flour. You will not need to spray the cutter again, but you will need to dip it in flour again between cutting out each soul cake.

Step 7

Cut out as many soul cakes as you can. Place the cakes on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat, then score the top of each one. Make the cuts between 1/8′ and 1/4′ inch deep. Brush the tops with plant milk, then sprinkle with sugar. Again a preference, I prefer coarse white sugar, but it’s really down to you.

Step 8

Place the pan in your freezer for twenty minutes and preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. After the soul cakes have chilled, bake them for 23 to 26 minutes. They should be crunchy.
