These fluffy, 7-ingredient biscuits are great for your holiday spread as they are dairy-free, easy and quick to make, and go great with everything from breakfast to dinner.
What You'll Need
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp sea salt
- 4 Tbsp non-dairy unsalted butter, cubed (plus 2 Tbsp for brushing on top)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 450°F. In a small bowl, add lemon juice to almond milk to make "buttermilk." Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Add cold butter and use fingers to combine until it has a sandy texture. Work quickly so the butter doesn't get too warm.
- Slowly start adding your buttermilk mix to your dry ingredients until it's a tacky, moldable dough — you may not need all of it.
- Fold your dough over itself in your large bowl 5–6 times, adding more flour if needed if it's too sticky, but don't over-knead.
- Using your hands, flatten your dough onto a piece of parchment paper until it's about 1 inch thick.
- Using a glass cup or cutter, push and twist into your dough to form 7–8 biscuits. Using your knuckle, create a slight indent in each biscuit to help them rise evenly, and brush them with melted non-dairy butter.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes until they are fluffy and slightly golden brown. Serve with gravy, jam, or your holiday favorites.
