Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Combine almond milk and lemon juice and set aside. It will start to separate and look a little weird – this is normal.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Using a cheese grater, grate your vegan butter into the dry mixture. Use your fingers to toss the grated butter and flour mixture together. Butter should be incorporated throughout the dry. Place bowl in the freezer while your oven continues to preheat (or at least 5 minutes).

Once the oven is ready, pour the almond milk and lemon over the dry. Use a wooden spoon to gently mix it all together until a crumbly dough has formed. Don’t overwork!

Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and work it into a rectangle. Roll it out to about ½ inch thick. Cut the dough in half and stack the two halves on top of each other.

Roll it out again to ½ inch thickness, and cut it in half once more, stack on top, and roll out to about ¾ inch thickness.

Use a biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits (just a down and up motion – never twist your cutter! This seals off the sides and prevents rising).

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet so they are touching. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden on top.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Keep Your Vegan Butter Ice Cold ❄️
Freeze your vegan butter for at least 30 minutes before cutting it into the flour—cold fat creates steam pockets that produce those signature flaky layers.
Use the Lemon Juice as a Rising Agent 🍋
The acidity in lemon juice reacts with baking powder to create extra lift and lift, resulting in taller, airier biscuits with better texture.
Avoid Overworking the Dough 🙌
Mix only until the ingredients just come together (about 30 seconds)—overworking develops gluten and makes biscuits tough instead of tender and flaky.
Create Steam in Your Oven 💨
Place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack while baking to create steam, which helps the biscuits rise higher and develop a golden, crispy exterior.
Cut Straight Down, Don't Twist 🔪
Use a sharp biscuit cutter and press straight down without twisting—twisting seals the edges and prevents the biscuits from rising evenly and reaching maximum height.
