This summer treat has been a family favorite for as long as we can remember, so, of course, we had to veganize it!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings: 7
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

For the biscuits
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) soy milk, plus more for topping
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups (187 g) all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp (36 g) sugar, plus more for topping
  • 2 tsp (9 g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp (84 g) vegan butter, cold and cubed
For serving
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Vegan whipped cream

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the soy milk and vinegar. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the butter cubes.
  4. Gently stir in the milk mixture until just combined (dough will be sticky).
  5. Place your dough on top of a lightly floured surface. Gently flip it around to cover in flour.
  6. Pat the dough out to be ~1/2 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or top of a cup to make the rounded pieces of dough. You can reshape the dough scraps to make more biscuits.
  7. Place each piece of dough on a lined baking sheet so that it is touching other pieces (this will help them rise).
  8. Place your baking sheet into the fridge for 15-30 minutes to firm up before baking.
  9. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  10. Once your dough pieces have chilled, brush each with soy milk and top with a sprinkle of sugar.
  11. Bake for ~15 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown and tops are crackly.
  12. Enjoy by slicing the biscuits in half and filling with strawberries and whipped cream!
