Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegan butter
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Cut the vegan butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk with apple cider vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes to create a vegan buttermilk substitute.
Step 5
Pour the vegan buttermilk into the flour mixture, stirring gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
Fold the dough over itself in thirds like a letter, then pat it back into a rectangle again. This helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.
Step 8
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any remaining dough scraps, gently press them together, and cut more biscuits.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
