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 plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°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

Add the cold vegan butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture sit for 2–3 minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan 'buttermilk.'

Step 5

Pour the vegan buttermilk into the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 7

Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out rounds of dough. Gather any scraps and gently re-roll the dough to cut out more biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with vegan butter or your favorite jam!
