Indulge in the fluffiness and buttery flavor of these dairy-free biscuits. Made without any dairy products, they are suitable for those with lactose intolerance or a dairy-free lifestyle. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish with your favorite meals. With a prep time of just 15 minutes, you can enjoy warm biscuits straight from the oven in no time.

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. 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.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup. Stir well.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
  7. 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.
  8. Gather any excess dough, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
  9. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  10. Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!
