🥐 Fluffy Vegan Biscuits

🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • ½ cup cold vegan butter (cubed)

  • ¾ cup cold unsweetened plant milk (plus more for brushing)

  • Optional: 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (helps with fluff!)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

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

  3. Add in the cold vegan butter and cut it in with a fork until it looks like little pea-sized crumbs.

  4. Pour in the plant milk (and ACV if using). Mix until a soft dough forms — don’t overwork it.

  5. Turn onto a floured counter, gently flatten, and fold the dough over itself 3–4 times (this is how you get layers!).

  6. Press to about 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits with a round cutter or the rim of a cup.

  7. Place on the baking sheet, brush the tops with plant milk, and bake 12–15 minutes until tall and golden.

🌾 Southern-Style Gravy

🛒 Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp vegan butter

  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups unsweetened plant milk (soy or oat preferred)

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1–1 ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½–1 tsp salt

  • Optional depth boosters:

    • ½ tsp smoked paprika

    • Splash of soy sauce or vegan Worcestershire

    • ½ tsp nutritional yeast

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Melt the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Whisk in the flour to make your roux; cook 1–2 minutes.

  3. Slowly whisk in the plant milk until smooth.

  4. Add seasonings and let it simmer 5–7 minutes until thick.

  5. Adjust salt/pepper and optional flavor boosters to your taste.

  6. Keep warm until biscuits are ready.

🍽️ To Serve

Split those hot biscuits and pour that soulful gravy right over the top. Add vegan sausage crumbles if you want that classic country-style “sausage gravy” moment.

🧠 Mom Tips

  • Cold ingredients = flaky biscuits.

  • Don’t skip folding the dough. Those layers hit every time.

  • Make it ahead: Biscuits can be frozen unbaked. Bake straight from frozen (add 3–4 min).

  • Gravy too thick? Add extra plant milk.

  • Gravy too thin? Simmer another minute or whisk in a pinch more flour.

🥣 Why I Love It

Because it tastes like a lazy Sunday morning… even when it’s Tuesday and the kids are arguing over who stole whose charger. Cozy, filling, cheap, vegan, and guaranteed to boost the family’s mood.
