Getting Down to Biscuit: Vegan Jam Biscuits at Watertown Coffee, Seattle
Wednesday, July 28, 2010 
There's nothing like a good biscuit, especially when it's tender, flaky, and extremely buttery.
But wait, what's this? At Watertown Coffee, their biscuits pack a delicious punch, and have the ability to challenge my buttery-biscuit desires, because you see, they're vegan.
On a recent visit the baker mentioned that her biscuits had received high praise--"better than Macrina's" was, I believe, the phrase tossed around--and after that, well, we had to try them.
But as for the superior biscuit, I really can't go down that road, because these are simply two different specimens of biscuit--and both delicious. Where the Macrina jam-filled biscuit is buttery and lightly crumbly, the Watertown biscuit is a little more...almost cookielike, or shortcake-y, and a little less crumbly. It is perfectly paired with a generous dollop of jam, and makes for an exceedingly sweet little morning treat (sizewise, they qualify more as breakfast accompaniment than main dish).

I love biscuits! I do believe I just commented on the awesome butteriness of your semolina shortbread as well, but I probably can't say the same for the butteriness of these biscuits. Ah well, at least they look good! :D
