Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk I use cashew milk
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 pint strawberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening chilled and cut into small pieces
  • Gay Lea Coconut Whipped Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Add vinegar to non-dairy milk and allow to sit for 10 minutes
  • Hull and slice strawberries and combine with the 1/3 cup sugar and set in the refridgerator.
  • In a large mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
  • Add cold shortening and using your fingers rub into the flour until shortening is well combined and mixture resembles course peas
  • Make a well in the flour mixture and pour milk/vinegar mixture into the middle, a little at a time and begin stirring with a wooden spoon until dough comes together. Dough will be sticky, you may not need all of the milk. DO NOT OVER MIX!
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently kneed four or five times. (do not use too much pressure when kneeding) Again, do not over work the dough.
  • Pat the dough into a 1 inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter, cut into circles and place on parchment lined baking sheet so they are just touching each other. Gather dough scraps and again gently pat into a 1" rectangle and cut additional biscuits. You should get 7 or 8.
  • Brush tops with cashew (or other non-dairy) milk and poke a small indent into the top of each one.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes, just until lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and serve warm old cold with a few spoonfuls of prepared strawberries and a generous spray of Gay Lea Coconut Whipped Cream
