Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups
• Baking powder - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegan butter - 1/4 cup (cold, cubed)
• Non-dairy milk - 1/2 cup
• Mushrooms - 200 grams (sliced)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Onion - 1 small (diced)
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable broth - 1 1/2 cups
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold vegan butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the non-dairy milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
6. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. While the biscuits are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
9. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
10. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become tender (about 5-7 minutes).
11. Add the soy sauce and nutritional yeast, stirring to combine.
12. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of vegetable broth to create a slurry.
13. Pour the remaining vegetable broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the gravy thickens (about 3-5 minutes). Season with black pepper to taste.
14. Serve the biscuits warm, topped generously with the mushroom gravy.
