Vegan biscuits with dairy-free 'buttermilk' are a must-try! These American biscuits are soft, flaky and tall, with a distinctive buttery flavor. They make an exceptional side dish or snack, and no one will be able to tell that they are entirely plant based!
Make the vegan buttermilk. Mix together the plant based milk and lemon juice, and set aside to curdle for one minute.
1 cup plant based milk, 1 tbsp lemon juice
Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Then, add the vegan butter/margarine, and mix together using a fork until a fine crumb forms.
½ tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp baking powder, 2.8 oz vegan butter, 3 ¼ cups flour
Add the buttermilk, and continue mixing using either a fork or a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.
Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured surface and roll out into a rectangle around an inch in thickness. Then, fold in the upper and lower edge, and roll it out once again.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles around 3 inches in diameter and transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Brush with some melted vegan butter if desired, then bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top.
