Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons Natural sugar substitute (e.g., granulated monk fruit or erythritol)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar substitute. Mix well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-mix; small pieces of butter should remain visible.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not over-mix; the dough should be slightly sticky and shaggy.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 7

Use a round biscuit cutter (around 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps gently to cut out more biscuits. You should end up with approximately 8 biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly touching for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier sides.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite tea.
