Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the vegetable shortening and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup. Stir well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch and then use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gather any excess dough, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!
