2 C preferred flour (we use whole wheat white)
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup shortening (or butter)
1 C coconut milk + 1 T apple cider vinegar
Place the apple cider vinegar in the bottom of a cup measure, then fill to the 1 cup mark with coconut milk. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Then cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal or small peas. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Do not over mix. Turn dough gently out onto a floured surface, and lightly push it together a few times - avoid kneading (less kneading means more flakey)! Gently pat dough down to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or milk glass dipped in flour. Gently reform and repeat until all the dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until edges just begin to brown.
Cheers!
