Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 TB baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • cup vegan butter cold
  • 1 cup vegan milk + 1 TB vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat 450 degrees, line a cookie tray Silpat and set aside.
  • Take a liquid measuring cup, pour 1 TB of vinegar, then add the vegan milk to the 1 cup line, stir, and set aside.
  • Take a medium-sized bowl and combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar and stir to combine.
  • Take a cheese grater and grate your cold vegan butter, then stick it in the freezer for 5 minutes or more. *OR you can take cold or frozen vegan butter and use a pastry cutter
  • Add the cold vegan butter and mix it with the pastry cutter until combined. Now add ¾ of the vegan milk and stir just until mostly combined. If your dough is too dry, add some vegan buttermilk slowly.
  • Then dump out on a Silpat. Flour your hands and pat the dough down, then fold it over and fold again, fold about four times and then pat into a thick round. Take a biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits out, and place them on the cookie sheet. When you get to the biscuit scraps, pat them together and cut the remaining biscuits.
  • Cook the biscuits for 9-12 minutes, depending on the size of the biscuits.
  • While the biscuits are warm, you can butter the biscuits outside.

Notes

Storing- If you have any leftover biscuits, they are best stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For best results, eat them the same day.
The best way to reheat them is to bake them at 350 degrees for around 5 minutes. 
Freezing- You can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Let them defrost on the counter, and then reheat them in the oven.
Expert Tips and Tricks-
  • Make sure your vegan butter is COLD. Cold butter helps the biscuits stay flakey
  • Do not overmix your dough. This is so important to keep those flakes
  • Make sure your baking powder isn't expired
  • Bake your biscuits close together so they rise together
  • When cutting the biscuits, cut directly down; don't wiggle the dough cutter
  • These taste best the day they are made, and lucky for us, they come together quickly, so I don't recommend making them ahead of time.
