Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Drop the coconut oil and vegan butter onto a plate lined with parchment paper, flatten slightly, and freeze for about 10 minutes.
- Combine the apple cider vinegar and cashew milk to make vegan 'buttermilk' and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing well.
- Chop the frozen fats finely and return to the freezer if they soften.
- Add the chopped fats to the flour mixture and mix until it resembles coarse sand.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the 'buttermilk', stirring until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape it into a flat ball, and pat it out to a thickness of ¾ inch.
- Cut out biscuits using a round cookie cutter and arrange them on a baking sheet so they touch slightly.
- Reshape any leftover dough into more biscuits, brush the tops with melted vegan butter or olive oil.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Serve warm and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
