Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment.
Step 2
Combine plant milk and vinegar and allow to sit while you measure your remaining ingredients. It will curdle and act as your vegan “buttermilk.”
Step 3
In the bowl of a food processor, add flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt and pulse to combine. Add in cubed butter and pulse several times. Then add in vegan cheddar shreds and continue to pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with pea-sized bits of butter. By hand: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add in cubed butter and vegan cheddar shreds and use a fork or pastry cutter to cut butter into pea-sized bits.
Step 4
Drizzle in “buttermilk” while pulsing. Continue to pulse until mixture comes together and pulls away from sides of food processor. Do not over-process. By hand: Drizzle “buttermilk” into dry mixture while gently mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula. Continue to stir until mixture just comes together.
Step 5
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough down with your hands into a small rectangle, then fold it in half. Repeat 2 more times to create extra flaky layers.
Step 6
Pat or roll dough out one more time to roughly 1″ thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits. You can press together your leftover dough, pat back out to 1″ thick and cut out a few extra biscuits.
Step 7
Arrange biscuits on lined tray. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until browned. Optionally, brush with melted butter after removing from oven.
Step 8
Add vegan crumbles to a medium skillet and sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned.
Step 9
Add in vegan butter (you can use less if your vegan sausage contains a lot of oil). Sprinkle flour over this mixture and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
Step 10
Add in milk about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring thoroughly to break up any clumps of flour and keep the gravy smooth. Gravy will thicken as you add more milk.
Step 11
When gravy has reached desired thickness, reduce heat to low and stir in garlic powder, poultry spice and black pepper. Taste and adjust salt to preference.
Step 12
Keep gravy warm until ready to serve. You can also make this gravy ahead of time, refrigerate and reheat when ready to serve.
