Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dairy-free butter substitute (chilled and cubed)
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk with the apple cider vinegar. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes. This will create a dairy-free buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the chilled and cubed dairy-free butter substitute to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter substitute into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the dairy-free buttermilk. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, just until it comes together.
Pat the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
