Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and lemon juice. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes to create dairy-free buttermilk.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5
Pour the dairy-free buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture, and stir gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix; it's okay if the dough is slightly sticky.
Step 6
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
Fold the dough in half and pat it back out to the same thickness. This folding process should be repeated two more times to create layers.
Step 8
Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits from the dough, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit.
Step 9
Gather any remaining scraps of dough and gently pat them together to cut more biscuits, avoiding overworking the dough.
Step 10
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm!
