Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter (cold)
- 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 small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold vegan butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the vegan butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, then pour in the vegan buttermilk.
Gently stir until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about one inch thick.
Fold the dough over itself a couple of times to create layers, then flatten it out again to about one inch thick.
Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Re-roll scraps if necessary, but try to limit how much you rework the dough to ensure the biscuits remain tender.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly on a cooling rack before serving. Enjoy warm!
