Stir together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar in a large shallow bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until slightly curdled. Whisk in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, if using, until a smooth, thick batter forms — it should coat a spoon and fall off in a slow ribbon.
