Ingredients
1 cup (240mls)plant-based milk , unsweetened & unflavoured
1tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1½ cups (187grams)flour, whole-wheat, spelt, all purpose (plain in the UK) or GF 1 to 1 baking flour
½ cup (50grams)almond flouror fine almond meal
1tablespoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonbaking soda, (bicarbonate of soda in the UK)
¾teaspoonfine sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450°F (230 °C) and line a large baking tray with a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Mix the vinegar with the plant-based milk and set aside.
Add all of the dry ingredients to mixing bowl and whisk together.
Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir to combine until you can't see any dry flour. Don't over-mix.
Drop large rounded spoonfuls onto the baking tray. I use an ice cream scoop. they don't spread very much so you don't need a lot of space around each one.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until risen, lightly browned and a toothpick, skewer or thin knife inserted into one comes out clean. If using gluten-free flour they will take approximately 2 minutes longer.
NOTES
Important note regarding the almond flour/almond meal - This is a crucial ingredient. There is no added oil or vegan butter in the recipe and the almond flour is what provides the necessary fat. Without it the recipe won't work.Success tip - Don't over-mix the biscuit batter/dough. Just mix gently until you can no longer see any dry flour. A few small lumps are fine.Storage - Cool the drop biscuits completely on a wire rack then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Simply cool, place in freezer bags or containers and freeze. Leave out at room temperature for a couple of hours to defrost.To reheat - Place on a baking tray and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
