Cat Head Biscuits

Course Breakfast, Side Dish, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1-3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour* plus additional for shaping biscuits
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • pinch sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons) vegan butter chilled
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter melted (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together oat milk and cider vinegar to make vegan buttermilk. Mixture will clabber — it’s supposed to). Set aside.
  • In a food processor, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Pulse a time or two to combine.
  • Pulse in the chilled vegan butter and mix quickly, just until mixture becomes like coarse meal. Pour in vegan buttermilk and give a quick mix to form a damp dough.
  • Dust rolling surface generously with flour. Turn out the biscuit dough, and pat out or roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Flour the rim of a glass or use a floured 2-inch or 3-inch biscuit cutter to form biscuits.
  • Place biscuits on the rimmed baking sheet. Brush tops with melted vegan butter, if desired.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Biscuit should be lightly golden, pillowy and fragrant.

Notes

*Variation — For some whole grain goodness, use 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup very fine whole wheat flour, like Anson Mills.
