Easy Vegan Pretzel Biscuits

0 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees(F).
1 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and pepper. 
2 Cut the cold butter into cubes and drop them into the bowl with the dry ingredients. 
3 Begin to cut the butter into the dry ingredients, either with a fork or pastry cutter. Then I like to use my fingers to pinch and press the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles sand.
4 Pour the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar into the bowl and then begin to stir the dough together. 
5 Then use your hands to knead the dough completely together until the dough is evenly combined. 
6 Put the dough in the fridge while you prep the toppings.
7 In a small sauce pan, bring the water to a boil and then add the baking soda. Let the baking soda dissolve into the water and then put the water on low heat. 
8 Now, roll the biscuit dough out on a floured surface until it is about 1/2 an inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a circle or square cutter. Bring the scraps back together and cutting out more biscuits.
9 Put the biscuits on a pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. I like to put them right up against each other, that helps them rise.
10 Take the baking soda and water mixture off the heat. Then generously brush the tops and sides of the biscuits with the water. This creates the pretzel crust. 
11 Then brush the tops of the biscuits with the oil and then sprinkle the tops with the coarse salt.
12 Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until the biscuits are nice and brown.
13 While the biscuits bake, make the "honey" butter. Whisk together the vegan butter, agave and salt until smooth. 
14 Once the biscuits are done, serve them with the butter.
