Calories 135kcal

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour 120g
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons solid coconut oil
½ cup unsweetened almond milk or another unsweetened non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, measure out the flour, salt and baking powder. Whisk until combined, then set aside.
In a liquid measuring cup, combine the almond milk and lemon juice. Stir, then set aside.
Using a pastry cutter, cut the solid (not liquid!) coconut oil using a dough blender or a fork into the flour mixture until just combined. Slowly work the oil into the dry mixture until it has the texture of wet sand.
Slowly pour in the wet ingredients, then form into a shaggy dough by gently stirring the ingredients together using a rubber spatula. (Don't overmix here!)
On a floured surface, press out the dough with your hands and cut into biscuits with a biscuit cutter. Do not twist the biscuit/cookie cutters because this will prevent the biscuits from rising to their full extent.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Enjoy warm with your favorite jam or by themselves!

Notes

If your coconut oil is in liquid form, this biscuit batter is going to be more challenging to work with, and their texture will be different than the ones in these photos. We use the solid coconut oil because it mimics the texture of vegetable shortening.

What if my coconut oil is liquid? How can I work with this? That just means it's warm! I'd pop it into the refrigerator. Keep an eye on it, and it will solidify. Just don't keep it in overnight because the coconut oil will be a solid brick that's challenging to work with.
