Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter (cold)
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast.
Cut the cold vegan butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to create vegan buttermilk.
Slowly pour the vegan buttermilk into the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
