Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, solid but not hard
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the mixture starts to come together. Avoid overmixing to ensure the biscuits are tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until smooth, adding a small amount of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Roll the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free tea biscuits warm.
