These buttermilk biscuits are buttery and tender with flaky layers of goodness!  Plus, they’re super easy to make, requiring only 7 ingredients and 15 minutes of hands on time.  Who knew that vegan baking could be so simple and delicious!

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 TB baking powder (aluminum-free if possible)

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup vegan butter, cubed and chilled

1 cup plain, unsweetened soy milk, or plant milk of choice (see note)

1 TB apple cider vinegar

2 tsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
  • In a glass bowl, combine the soy milk and apple cider vinegar.  Stir briefly and refrigerate.
  • To a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until combined.
  • Add the chilled butter cubes to the dry ingredients.  Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until coarse crumbs form.
  • Make a well in the center of the mixture and add 1 cup of the chilled buttermilk.  Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.  The dough should be crumbly.
  • With your clean hands, gather up the dough into a ball and place it on a lightly floured surface.  Gently press the dough into a rectangle, about 8 inches wide. Fold the dough into thirds, like you are folding a letter to fit in an envelope.  Turn the dough 90 degrees and fold it into thirds again.  Press the dough back into a rectangle and repeat the fold – turn – fold process two more times.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until it’s about 1 inch thick.  Cut the dough into 3” circles using a round biscuit cutter or the top of a wide mouth mason jar.  Do not twist the cutter. Twisting seals the edges and will keep the biscuits from rising properly. Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting biscuits until the dough is gone. You should have 8-10 biscuits.
  • Arrange the biscuits in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, allowing the biscuits to almost touch. Alternately, you can arrange them close together on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the tops with the remaining soy milk.  Bake the biscuits until the tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with vegan butter.
