Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other non-dairy milk)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the almond milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently knead it 4–5 times to bring it together. Avoid overworking the dough to ensure the biscuits stay tender.
Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle or circle. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting for maximum rise.
Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them. Gather any leftover dough, gently pat it out, and cut additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
