Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegan butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk with apple cider vinegar to create a vegan buttermilk substitute. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the chilled and cubed vegan butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the vegan buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently fold the dough over itself 5-6 times to create layers. Pat the dough into a disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet close together. Gather remaining scraps, gently rework, and cut additional biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Popeyes-style Buttermilk Biscuits warm!
