Vegan Flaky Biscuits & Buttermilk Gravy (The Brunch Dream Team)

Total Time: 40 mins | Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 25 mins | Serves: 6–8

Some mornings call for cereal. Others demand carbs stacked on carbs, smothered in creamy gravy — you know, for balance. This vegan biscuits & gravy combo is buttery, flaky, tangy, and rich without a drop of dairy. Perfect for Sunday brunch, holiday mornings, or any day you want to remind your taste buds you love them.

For the Buttermilk Gravy:

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Make the Biscuits:

  1. In a small bowl, mix plant milk with vinegar/lemon juice. Let sit 5 minutes to curdle.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  3. Add cold vegan butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to cut into pea-sized bits — don’t overmix.

  4. Pour in “buttermilk” mixture, stirring until just combined (dough will be slightly sticky).

  5. On a floured surface, pat into a rectangle, fold like a letter, rotate, and repeat 2–3 times.

  6. Pat to 1-inch thick, cut biscuits (straight down, no twisting), and place on parchment-lined baking sheet, touching slightly.

  7. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden and tall.

Make the Gravy:

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt vegan butter. Whisk in flour, cooking 1–2 minutes.

  2. Slowly whisk in plant milk until smooth.

  3. Add seasonings (onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper). Whisk until thickened, about 4–6 minutes.

  4. Stir in vinegar/lemon juice for tang. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve:

Split biscuits, pour over warm gravy, and eat immediately before someone in your house tries to “sample” your plate.

🧠 Mom Tips

  • 🧊 Keep all your biscuit ingredients cold — cold fat = layers!

  • 🔪 Don’t twist your biscuit cutter. Straight down for maximum rise.

  • 🥶 Make a double batch of biscuits and freeze raw — bake straight from frozen.

  • 🌶 Add a pinch of cayenne to gravy for a little heat, or roasted garlic for extra depth.

  • 🕒 Gravy thickened too much? Just stir in a splash of plant milk when reheating.

🥣 Why I Love It

This is comfort food with zero compromise — tender, buttery biscuits layered with creamy, tangy gravy that tastes just like the classic Southern dish I grew up smelling at family brunch. Only difference? It’s totally plant-based, and my kids still fight over the last one.
