Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, solid
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.

Step 3

Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly, creating a dairy-free buttermilk.

Step 5

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle and fold it over itself in thirds, as if folding a letter. Rotate the dough, roll it out again, and repeat the folding process two more times. This creates flaky layers.

Step 7

Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Reform any leftover dough and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Step 10

Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving them warm with your favorite toppings.
