Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter, chilled
- 6 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and set aside to let it curdle slightly, forming a dairy-free buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Grate the chilled vegan butter using a box grater into the bowl with the dry ingredients (or cut it into small pieces), ensuring it's scattered throughout the flour mixture.
Toss the grated butter in the flour mixture to coat, using a pastry cutter or two forks to further blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the nutritional yeast and chopped chives to the flour mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the curdled almond milk. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently 2-3 times to bring the dough together. Pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Once cut out, gather remaining dough scraps and repeat the patting and cutting process until all dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with olive oil to promote browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden on top and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving warm.
