Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter, cold
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon 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 well and set aside for about 5-10 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk substitute.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cold vegan butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pieces of butter the size of small peas.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the vegan buttermilk mixture.
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently combine the ingredients until a dough begins to form. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the dough in half over itself and gently pat it down again into 1-inch thickness. Repeat this folding process two more times to create layers that will help the biscuits rise.
Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently re-roll scraps of dough to cut out more biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
