Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups 280 ml all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 teaspoon sugar in the raw or other vegan sugar
  • 4.5 tablespoon 65 g vegan butter (cold, keep in fridge until ready to use)
  • cups almond milk or other nut milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 360F (176C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. 
  • Combine dry ingredients into large bowl. Mix together well with fork or whisk. 
  • Cut the butter into the flour in small slices. Using your hands, gently work the flour into the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly like coarse bread crumbs. 
  • Pour in the milk, and still using your hands, work the mixture into a smooth dough ball. Once formed, knead the dough briefly for about 2 minutes.  
  • Roll out dough on a clean, well-floured working surface as thinly as possible. Using a cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out round circles of dough and place on baking sheets. Continue rolling out dough and cutting out biscuits until all the dough is used. Using a fork or pastry docker, gently prick the tops of the biscuits before they enter the oven. 
  • Place biscuits in the center rack of your oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending upon your oven, or until they begin to turn golden brown. Serve immediately with a nice cup of tea or place on cooling racks to cool. Store in an air-tight container for 3-5 days. 

Notes

  • To make it easier when rolling the dough, cut it in half and work with only half at a time.
