Vegan Cheddar and Chive Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, plus additional for rolling
- 1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 Teaspoon Salt (Kosher or Table Salt)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, very cold (8 tbsp)
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Chives, Chopped
- 1 cup Vegan Cheddar
- 3/4 cup almond milk
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F)
Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper; set aside
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper; whisk well to combine
Add the vegan butter to the flour and using your fingertips rub the butter into the mix, stopping when the mixture is a coarse meal
Stir in the chives and vegan cheddar
Gradually add the almond milk stir with a fork just until a messy (sticky) ball is formed
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead (with very floured hands) until the dough has been worked into a ball; about 6-7 times should do it. Don't overwork the dough as they won't rise well. Less kneading is better
Pat the ball down into a 1
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet bottom side up as it should be more flat. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown
