Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, solid (not melted)
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and lemon juice, stir well, and let it sit for at least 5 minutes to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until fully combined.
Step 4
Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5
Slowly pour the almond milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Step 6
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
Step 7
Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough in half, turn it 90 degrees, and pat it down again to 1-inch thickness. Repeat this process two more times to create layers, which will help the biscuits become fluffy.
Step 8
Cut out biscuits using a floured 2.5-inch round cutter. Do not twist the cutter when pressing down as this can seal the edges and prevent them from rising properly.
Step 9
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each. Gather any remaining dough scraps, gently reform, and cut additional biscuits.
Step 10
Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are pronounced golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your dairy-free fluffy biscuits with your favorite toppings!
