In a small mixing bowl: combine the coconut milk and lemon juice.
In a cup: combine the flax meal and water to make a flax egg. Let rest at least 7 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl: Combine the dry ingredients except the butter. Give them a quick stir to distribute evenly.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes, and then mix into the flour mixture. Use your fingers to "cut in" the butter by hand until there are small pieces of butter surrounded by flour. The mix should look like coarse meal, not a cookie dough. Form a well in the middle of the flour and butter mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently fold the edges of the flour mixture into the middle of the liquids, until they are combined. Be gentle. Let rest for 10 minutes to allow the dry ingredients to fully absorb the liquids..
Scoop six balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Dip a dinner spoon into a bowl of water. Use the back side of the spoon to flatten the ball of dough slightly.
Using the scoop, put a second ball of the pastry mix on top of each of the flattened biscuits. Slightly fasten the second ball of dough on top of the first.
Bake in the oven for 13 to 15 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Serve warm, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Thank you to Kassia Fiedor for allowing us to adapt this recipe. For more of Kassia's recipes, check out her cookbook here:Cocina Holistica: Plant-Powered Recipes Inspired by Guatemalan Superfoods NOTE: For best results, measure the butter by the TBSP scale on the paper cover of the stick. Also, place the vegan butter in the freezer for the last 5 minutes before you cut it. This will insure that the butter doesn't soften too much while you are cutting it in.
