⭐ Silken Tofu (Pureed with 1 tsp lemon juice per 1/2 cup tofu) (Best Dairy-Free Option)
1/2 cup pureed silken tofu + 1 tsp lemon juice per 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Quick tip: Silken tofu can mimic moisture and protein but requires acid addition to replicate tang and leavening activation.
Silken tofu is high in protein and moisture, making it a good textural substitute. However, it lacks natural acidity, so lemon juice is added to simulate the tang and help activate baking soda or powder.
Puree tofu until very smooth and mix in lemon juice before incorporating. This substitute works best in recipes where slight flavor changes are acceptable.
Biscuits will be tender but may have a more neutral flavor and slightly different crumb structure compared to those made with Greek yogurt.
