Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra firm tofu
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Pickle juice
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegan butter, cold
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 4 thick slices.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix almond milk, pickle juice, and lemon juice. Marinate the tofu slices in the mixture for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 3

While tofu marinates, preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) for biscuits.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for biscuits.

Step 5

Cut the cold vegan butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in almond milk and apple cider vinegar gradually to form a dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead briefly, then roll to about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Cut out biscuits with a round cutter and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

Step 10

Once the tofu is marinated, mix 1 cup of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish to create the breading.

Step 11

Remove tofu slices from the marinade and dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 12

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 13

Fry tofu slices in hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Step 14

Split the freshly baked biscuits and place a fried tofu slice in each.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your vegan Chick-fil-A style chicken biscuit!
