Beachy Biscuits

Like most of my regular recipes, this is a simplified synthesis of several different versions.  When you look at the temperature, you'll probably think, "Dang, that's not right.  450 degrees?  Absurd!  I will lower the temperature to 350 instead."  This won't end in tragedy, but you won't get the towering, flaky biscuit you want.

These are not vegan but you definitely could convert them: sub out chilled refined coconut oil for the butter, and almond milk + apple cider vinegar for the milk.
