Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra firm tofu
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter, cold
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 4 thick slices.
In a medium bowl, mix almond milk, pickle juice, and lemon juice. Marinate the tofu slices in the mixture for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
While tofu marinates, preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) for biscuits.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for biscuits.
Cut the cold vegan butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in almond milk and apple cider vinegar gradually to form a dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead briefly, then roll to about 3/4 inch thick.
Cut out biscuits with a round cutter and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
Once the tofu is marinated, mix 1 cup of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish to create the breading.
Remove tofu slices from the marinade and dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry tofu slices in hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Split the freshly baked biscuits and place a fried tofu slice in each.
Serve warm and enjoy your vegan Chick-fil-A style chicken biscuit!
