Buttermilk biscuits were always a love of my little southern heart. Unfortunately, my grandmother was not much of cooker and they usually came from the can. While Pillsbury did a lovely job, fortunately I am vegan now and can no longer indulge in most canned breads. Here is a recipe for vegan Buttermilk Biscuit, a great hearty start to any day.
Vegan Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Yields: 20 vegan buttermilk biscuits
What ingredients do you need to make buttermilk biscuits:
1 cup almond milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons raw sugar
2 tablespoons vegan butter (cubed)
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
How to make vegan buttermilk biscuits:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stir vinegar into almond milk and set aside to curdle for about 5 minutes to form “vegan buttermilk”.
Sift together all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add raw sugar to the bowl.
Cut vegan butter into the flour mixture using a fork or pastry blender until the dough is crumbly.
Stir vegan buttermilk into the crumbly biscuit dough. Mix just until the dough comes together to form a ball.
Press buttermilk biscuit dough out to be about 1 inch thick onto parchment paper that has been lightly floured, and flour the top of the biscuit dough as while.
Cut buttermilk biscuits out of the dough using a biscuit cutter or 2 inch wide cookie cutter. It may help to dip the cutter into flour too.
Place the vegan biscuits onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between.
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes and allow to buttermilk biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your southern vegan breakfast with vegan buttermilk biscuits.

I can’t wait to try out those biscuits. I haven’t had good buttermilk biscuits in a long time. When I first gave up dairy, the only thing I would cave over was buttermilk biscuits and gravy.
Your in luck then
Can’t wait to try these. Having to give up dairy.
