Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (425Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the plant-based milk and vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes. This will create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the chilled plant-based butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the buttermilk substitute into the flour-butter mixture. Stir gently with a spoon until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times to bring it together into a cohesive ball. Then pat the dough out to about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.
Use a round cookie cutter or the edge of a glass to cut out biscuit shapes. Re-roll the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 cm apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
