Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup vegan butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk with apple cider vinegar to create a vegan buttermilk substitute. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to thicken.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Add the chilled and cubed vegan butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the vegan buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently fold the dough over itself 5-6 times to create layers. Pat the dough into a disk about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet close together. Gather remaining scraps, gently rework, and cut additional biscuits.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Popeyes-style Buttermilk Biscuits warm!
