Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegan butter
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0 Black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Freshly chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar to create a vegan buttermilk. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gradually add to the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough in half and repeat this folding and patting process 2 more times to create flakier layers.

Step 6

Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather remaining dough, gently pat out, and cut again until all dough is used.

Step 7

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

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, prepare the gravy. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another minute.

Step 10

Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir well to coat.

Step 11

Slowly add vegetable broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 12

Add soy sauce, dried thyme, black pepper, and nutritional yeast to the gravy. Adjust seasoning to taste and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 13

Remove biscuits from the oven when done, and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 14

Serve the warm biscuits topped with generous spoonfuls of gravy. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
