Ingredients

• 1 block (14 oz) Firm tofu
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Dill pickle juice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 8 pieces Biscuits (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Press the block of tofu using a tofu press or by wrapping it in clean kitchen towels and placing a heavy object on top for at least 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Slice the pressed tofu into 8 equal pieces, resembling cutlets.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix the vegetable broth and dill pickle juice. Add tofu pieces to marinate for at least 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 5

Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl for dipping.

Step 6

Remove each tofu piece from the marinade, let excess drip off, then dunk into the flour mixture, coating thoroughly. Dip it into the buttermilk, then back into the flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu pieces to the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Warm pre-baked biscuits according to package instructions or prepare homemade biscuits if preferred.

Step 10

To assemble, split each biscuit and place a fried tofu cutlet inside. Serve hot and enjoy!
