Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons canola oil (or olive oil)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the almond milk with apple cider vinegar to create a quick buttermilk substitute. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Once the buttermilk substitute is ready, pour it into the large mixing bowl along with canola oil and unsweetened applesauce.

Step 5

Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together. Avoid over-kneading to ensure soft biscuits.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a rectangle or circle about 1/2-inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour to cut out biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Gather any leftover dough, reshape, and cut until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with a dollop of jam or your favorite low-cholesterol topping!
