prep time: 20 mins bake time: 15-20 mins total time: 45 mins serves: 9
Ingredients:
6 tbsps. Vegan Butter, frozen for at least 30 mins
170g (3/4 cup) Cold Plant Milk, I like soy milk
12g (1 tbsp.) Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tbsp. Baking Powder
280g (2 1/4 cup) All-Purpose Flour
120g (1/2 cup) Sourdough Discard, or sub 1/4 cup more milk and 1/4 cup more flour, or 1/2 cup yogurt of your choice
2 tbsps. Olive Oil
Optional Toppings:
Turbinado Sugar
Flakey Salt
Method:
(see pictures and video tutorial below the steps)
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Add the olive oil to the bottom of a square (8''x8'') baking tin. Make sure the olive oil covers the bottom of the pan completely.
Step 2: Combine the Apple Cider Vinegar and Plant milk. Set back in the fridge for at least 5 minutes.
Step 3: Whisk the dry ingredients, including the sugar, together in a bowl. Make sure there are no clumps of baking powder and baking soda remaining.
Step 4: Add the sourdough and cold milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 5: Grate in the frozen butter, using the medium-side of the grater. Work quickly, as you want the butter to stay as cold as possible.
Step 6: Mix in the butter until just combined.
Step 7: Flatten the dough into the pan. Using a bench scraper or a knife, score the dough into 9 equal rectangles.
Optional: Sprinkle the top of the biscuits with turbinado sugar, flakey salt, or your choice of toppings
Step 8: Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins, until the sides are golden brown. I recommend turning the pan halfway through to ensure even baking.
Step 9: Let cool in pan, at least 10 minutes. Best served warm, break apart and enjoy.
Store in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.
Coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil.
Combine the ACV and Plant milk. It should curdle like this.
Whisk together the dry ingredients.
Add the sourdough and cold milk. Mix until just combined.
Grate in the frozen butter.
Mix in the butter until just combined.
Flatten the dough into the pan, making sure the dough reaches to the edges of the pan.
Score the dough into 9 equal pieces.
Top your biscuits with turbinado sugar and flakey salt.
Bake at 450 degrees F for 15-20 mins.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
Let cool 20 mins. Break apart along score lines.
