Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold dairy-free butter (stick butter, i.e. Country Crock plant butter sticks)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or another plain milk alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon distilled vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place the butter in the freezer while you’re preparing.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In the liquid measuring cup with the almond milk, add the vinegar. Set aside in the fridge for now.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir well.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your hands, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Pour in the almond milk mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  6. Lightly flour your hands and a work surface. Pour the dough onto the floured surface and pat with your hands into a disc about 1-inch thick.
  7. Use a 2 ½-inch biscuit cutter to cut about eight biscuits, and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake at 425 degrees F for about 14-17 minutes, or until the biscuits start to turn a light golden brown color around the top edges. Serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • Work quickly when making the dough once you’ve cut in the butter; cold butter in the mixture will help ensure flaky layers.
