Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut the Earth Balance margarine into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (use pastry blender or two knives). Add almond milk and slightly beaten egg and stir until just combined. (The texture should be sticky, moist and lumpy.)
Place mixture on a lightly floured surface. Dust your hands with flour and knead the dough gently until it comes together and is a smooth dough.

Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out biscuits with a round cookie cutter. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the biscuit comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack.
