Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120g) whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup (130g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 tbsp natural cane sugar
- 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced
- 5.5 tbsp coconut oil, frozen
- 1 cup unsweetened and unflavoured almond milk
- 1/4-1/3 cup vegan shredded cheese (I used Daiya), optional
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Line a small plate with parchment paper and spread on the coconut oil into a layer about 1/2-inch wide. Place in the freezer until solid, for about 5-10 minutes. Place the cup of milk in the freezer to chill as well.
- Meanwhile, whisk the flours, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder together in a large bowl.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut the frozen coconut oil into the dry ingredients until it’s the size of small peas. Make sure not to leave any large chunks.
- Pour chilled almond milk over the dry ingredients + coconut oil mixture and stir until just combined. If your scoops of flour were heavy-handed you may need to add a tablespoon or two more milk. Fold in the herbs and shredded cheeze.
- Drop about 8-10 biscuits all over the baking sheet, leaving 2-3 inches between each biscuit. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the pan, and then bake for an additional 8-10 minutes longer watching closely. Biscuits are ready when golden. Serve warm.
I do not recommend making these ahead of time. When stored in a container, they will lose their crisp exterior.
