Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- ¾ cup cold unsweetened soy milk
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 pint of strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 3 tbsp + 2 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 7 tbsp unsalted vegan butter, chilled in the freezer and cut into thin slices
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp unsweetened soy milk mixed with 1 tsp maple syrup, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Combine ¾ cups soy milk and vinegar together to create vegan buttermilk. I do this directly in my pyrex measuring cup. Let it sit.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir together strawberries and 2 tbsp sugar. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, whisk together flour, 3 tbsp sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Add butter and process for about 30 seconds until it resembles a coarse crumb. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl, and make a well in the center of the mixture.
- Pour the lemon zest and buttermilk into the well and stir until just combined.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface and pat it into a rectangle.
- Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn the dough, and flatten it. Then fold into thirds, turn and flatten twice more.
- Roll out the dough until it's about a ½ inch thick.
- Using a 2½-inch biscuit cutter, or a glass push straight down (do not twist) to cut out 12 biscuits.
- Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are barely touching each other.
- Gently, press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb, and brush with the maple-milk mixture.
- Bake for 15 mins, or until browned.
- Serve cut in half, and filled with strawberries and whipped cream.
