Cheddar Biscuits with Sage

In a small bowl, combine almond milk and lemon juice. Set aside.

As that sits, prepare grated cheese and finely chopped sage. 

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and chopped sage. Whisk ingredients together.

Cut the cold butter or vegan butter into small cubes and add to the large mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter or hand mixer, incorporate the butter, breaking it into smaller pieces until it resembles the size of green peas or just larger. 

To the same bowl, add the almond milk and lemon juice mixture. In addition, add the cheese. Fold in by hand or with a wooden spoon until just combined. The dough should come together easily. If it is too dry, add a small amount of milk if needed. Be sure not to overmix. 

Remove the dough from the bowl onto a gently floured surface. Lightly roll the dough out to about 1-1 ½ inch thick. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits, placing them directly onto the baking sheets evenly spaced apart. They will expand as they bake. 

Prior to baking, use brush some almond milk on top of each biscuit. This will provide extra moisture and color.

Bake biscuits for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let them rest until cooled.
