Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and almond milk. Stir well and let sit for about 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the vegan butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add the flax egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and blend until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, cut out circles of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Optional: Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the top of each biscuit by gently pressing down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Vegan Biscuit Galettes Bretonnes with a cup of tea or coffee!
