Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a vegan buttermilk by combining the almond milk and lemon juice in a small bowl or measuring cup. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute, then set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then mix to combine. Add the chilled butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the chilled butter into the flour. It should resemble fine crumbs.
Add the vegan buttermilk and use a spoon to gently combine. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and form it into a rectangle. Use a rolling pin and gently roll the dough until it is evenly flat. Fold the rectangle in half, then use the rolling pin to roll it back into its initial shape. Repeat the folding step a second time to create layers in the dough.
Dip a biscuit cutter into some flour, and cut the dough into biscuits. Be careful not to use a twisting motion when cutting the biscuits. You’ll have some dough left after the first round of cutting, simply reroll the dough if you choose and keep cutting the biscuits until the dough runs out.
Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking tray. Use your thumb and make an indentation in the dough, then brush the tops of the biscuits with some almond milk as an egg wash substitute.
Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
