For the biscuits

- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp vegan butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- ¾ cup plant-based milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 2 tbsp organic cane sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

Combine the sliced strawberries, 3 tbsp organic cane sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Set aside at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, until the berries release their juices and the mixture is syrupy.

While the strawberries macerate, stir together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl or measuring cup and let stand for 5 minutes until slightly curdled. This is your vegan buttermilk.
