Description
Entirely plant-based buttermilk biscuits. They’re flaky, dotted with pockets of cheddar, and absolutely addictive with a pat of butter and some jam!
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened original nondairy milk
1 tsp white vinegar
2–1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold vegan butter (1 stick)
1 cup vegan cheddar shreds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Mix together the nondairy milk and vinegar and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or a food processor, add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and mix until combined.
- If using a food processor:Â Add butter and pulse until incorporated into a crumbly, dry mixture.
If using a knife or grater:Â Cut butter into very small pieces. Mix with the flour by hand or with a pastry blender until incorporated into a crumbly, dry mixture. - Stir in the cheddar shreds until combined.
- Add the buttermilk, reserving about 1 tbsp of it to brush the tops. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and turn the dough out onto the surface, using your hands to form a rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 4 sections, then stack them on top of each other and press down to squish them together (this is how you get nice flaky layers!)
- Use hands to form a rectangle about 1-inch thick, then cup out biscuit shapes with a cookie cutter or glass.
- Place on a baking sheet and brush the tops with the reserved buttermilk. Bake 12 minutes, Â until golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge up to 4 days.
