                  Vegan Biscuits

                  by

                    Vegan, Gluten Free

                    Happily serves 7

                    ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS 

                    1 Cup Almond Milk

                    1 TBSP Lemon juice

                    1 Cup Gluten free flour

                    1 Cup Quinoa Flour

                    1 TBSP Baking powder

                    1/2 tsp Baking soda

                    3/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt

                    4 TBSP Vegan Butter 

                    Preheat oven to 450 degrees,  add lemon juice to nut milk to make “vegan buttermilk.” Set aside.

                    Whisk together dry ingredients.

                    Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to combine the two until only small pieces remain and it looks like sand. Work quickly so the butter doesn’t get too warm.

                    Make a well in the dry ingredients and stir gently while pouring in the nut milk mixture 1/4 cup at a time. 

                    You may not need all of it, stir until slightly combined and sticky.

                    Turn onto a lightly floured surface, dust the top with a bit of flour and gently turn the dough over on itself 5 times – hardly kneading. Handle as little as possible.

                    Use a glass cup, push straight down then slightly twist. Place biscuits on a baking sheet, make sure they just touch, it helps them rise uniformly. 

                    Gently press a small divot in the center, this helps them rise evenly, so the middle won’t form a dome. 

                    Bake for 10-15 minutes or until fluffy and slightly golden brown.  I dusted with sea salt.

                    I have also baked it as a loaf, worked for me!

                    Let cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
