Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, solid
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly, creating a dairy-free buttermilk.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle and fold it over itself in thirds, as if folding a letter. Rotate the dough, roll it out again, and repeat the folding process two more times. This creates flaky layers.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Reform any leftover dough and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving them warm with your favorite toppings.
