Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed, ensuring there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, melt the coconut oil if it is solid. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the dry ingredients.
- Add the melted coconut oil to the flour mixture and stir until crumbly. This helps create a flaky texture for the biscuits.
- In another small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar together. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
- Pour the almond milk mixture into the flour and coconut oil mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Dust a clean surface with a little gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
- Gather any leftover dough, re-pat it into a rectangle, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm with your favorite vegan butter or jam, and enjoy your gluten-free vegan biscuits!
Tips
- Choose the Right Flour: Make sure to use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best results. Some blends contain xanthan gum, which can help improve the texture of your biscuits.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense biscuits instead of light and flaky ones.
- Chill Your Coconut Oil: If your coconut oil is too warm when added to the flour mixture, it can affect the texture of the biscuits. Let it cool slightly after melting to maintain that perfect flakiness.
- Use a Biscuit Cutter: For the best shape and rise, use a sharp biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out your biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary in temperature, so start checking your biscuits at the 15-minute mark. You want them to be golden brown on top for that perfect finish!
- Serve Fresh: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them warm with vegan butter or your favorite jam for a delightful treat.
