Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed vegan butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar to create a dairy-free buttermilk. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Gradually pour the dairy-free buttermilk into the flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Drop 1/4-cup portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter and mix with the chopped parsley.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush them with the parsley and butter mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy the flaky, savory delight of dairy-free Cheddar Bay Biscuits!
