This recipe is one of my favorites! Biscuits have always been one of my food loves. Even when I was young and mom was making them I would wait in the kitchen and eat them fresh out of the oven, as soon as they were cool enough not to burn my mouth, no butter, no extras, just delicious warm biscuits.
This recipe is the one that my mother used when I was growing up. It was also my go to recipe for impressing dates during my younger years (I did not cook as much then so it was also one of my only recipes). With a few minor adjustments so they are entirely plant based, I present to you the recipe for the greatest vegan biscuits ever.
Not only is this recipe simple, but it is quick you can have a batch whipped up and in the oven in 10 minutes. Which means that ready to eat vegan biscuits are never more than 30 minutes away. This is seriously a great recipe for potlucks, or when you have friends (or that special someone) over and you want to impress.
You will need:
- 2 ½ cups of flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup vegan margarine
- 1 cup sour almond or soy milk
To Make Vegan Biscuits:
Begin by adding all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stirring them together.
Next cut the ½ cup of margarine into the flour mixture.
Now pour in 1 cup of sour milk. Vegan sour milk can be made by adding a tbsp of vinegar to a cup of almond or soy milk. I normally use almond milk since that is the family preference, but due to nut restrictions at my son’s school I know that soy milk works just as well.
Mix well until vegan biscuit dough is formed, you will have to use your hands at the end to get this to come together properly.
Flatten the dough out on a clean counter or cutting board to about ¾ of an inch thick.
Cut the biscuits to whatever size you prefer, I personally use a 3 inch biscuit cutter, which makes about a dozen biscuits. An upside down glass is also a great tool for cutting good sized biscuits.
Place on a baking sheet and put into an oven preheated to 400º for about 20 minutes or until they begin to brown.
Now you are ready to om nom nom some vegan biscuits!! They are great with a bit of vegan margarine, jam, or as I still do, straight into your mouth just as they are. They are also the perfect side to go along with some vegan corn chowder, or pair them with seasoned french fries and a veggie burger.
