Biscuits

Ingredients

• unsweetened plain oat milk, 1 cup
• lemon juice, 1 tbsp
• all-purpose flour, 2 cups
• baking powder, 1 tbsp
• baking soda, 1/2 tsp
• salt, 3/4 tsp
• non-dairy butter, 4 tbsp

Tools

• Bake tray & either parchment paper or a baking mat
• Two mixing bowls, one small and one large
• A whisk
• A cookie cutter
• Measuring cups & spoons
• (Optionally) a big cutting board as a work surface
• A fork
• (Optionally) a baking brush

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 450F / 230C.
2. In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and oat milk with a fork. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour + baking powder + baking soda + salt.
4. To large bowl, add cold non-dairy butter & use hands to combine. Work quick so the butter doesn't get too warm. You want no large pieces of butter left.
5. In large bowl, make a well, then add the lemon juice + oat milk mix 1/4 cup at a time until you get a slightly sticky but moldable dough. Using most but not all of it is normal.
6. On a work surface, lightly flour, then dump the dough out. Fold it over itself a few times, adding more flour as needed to keep it from sticking.
7. Flatten the dough out until it's roughly an inch thick, working it as little as possible (to keep air in it).
8. Using a cookie cutter, cut circles out and lay them on a bake tray, atop either parchment paper or a silicone bake mat. They should be just barely touching each other on the tray.
9. Re-combine the dough and form a new inch-thick shape to cut more out of. You should get 7-8 biscuits total on the tray.
10. Brush the tops with some non-dairy butter, and make small divots in them with two fingertips. This helps them brown nicely and rise evenly without a bubble in the middle. You can use a baking brush, or you can melt some butter in your hands and use your fingertips.
11. Bake them for 10 - 15 minutes - I generally use 14. Look for a good brown top.
