Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cups vegan milk (340g)
- 4 cups all purpose flour (480g)
- 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup vegan butter, frozen (170g)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup, divided
For the Topping
- 2 tablespoon vegan butter, melted
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chives or green onions, chopped, OPTIONAL
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, add together the milk and vinegar. This makes vegan buttermilk. Let sit together for 5-10 minutes.
- In a separate large bowl, add flour, vegan cheese, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together. Grate in your frozen butter to the bowl. After about every 4 tbsp, fold the butter in with flour (this helps it not clump and stay cold). Stir together one last time to make sure well combined.
- At this time, your buttermilk from Step 2 should be ready. Add in ⅓ cup maple syrup into buttermilk mixture. Add to the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Careful not to overmix.
- Onto a lightly floured surface, dump out the bowl. Use yours hands to gather the dough together and press into a rectangle. The dough should be scraggly/crumbly. Press the dough down to about 1 ¼ inches thick.
- Fold the top ⅓ of the dough into the middle. Then, fold the bottom ⅓ to the middle. (Similar to how you would fold a paper. Flour dough a little if sticky. Press the dough out to 1 inch thick and repeating folding process.
- Trim off the rough edges to square off the sides to help with the rising. Then cut into 8 equal portions. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits evenly. Place into the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from freezer. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
- While cooking, in a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoon of each melted vegan butter and maple syrup together. Then brush the tops lightly with the mixture.
- Serve immediately or let cool and store in an airtight container.
